Big news!!🎉
The Passion Hub will be organizing
Neuro Affirming Practice through the SPELL Framework – 2-Day Licensed Spell User Certification Workshop
for the very 1st time in Penang!
🧩 Why the SPELL Framework?

SPELL (Structure, Positive Approaches, Empathy, Low Arousal, Links) is a compassionate, evidence-based approach developed by the UK National Autistic Society, accredited by the Tizard Centre at the University of Kent*, and licensed by AT-Autism to support autistic individuals.

This first-ever SPELL workshop in Penang offers practical tools for parents, educators, psychologists, therapists, medical professionals, doctors, and volunteers to create calm, structured environments, reduce distress, and build trusting relationships. It promotes understanding autistic profile based on the latest researches and supports autistic individuals by fostering intrinsic motivation in learning, rather than relying on external rewards or forced compliance.

The SPELL approach helps prevent social masking -where autistic individuals suppress their true needs to fit in—which can lead to burnout, mental health issues, and challenges developing authentic and positive self identity, as well as disconnection from their interoceptive and sensory needs.

📆 Date: 5th & 6th July 2025 (Saturday & Sunday)
⏰ Time: 9.00am – 5.00pm
📍 Venue: Penang Gurney Bay Hotel

🎉 Special Discounts
✅ RM200 OFF for Early Bird registration before 16th May 2025

💝 The Passion Hub will be sponsoring a RM100 therapy voucher for 20 existing clients of The Passion Hub who sign up for the workshop. These vouchers are available on a first-come, first-served basis and can be redeemed for any therapy or intervention program offered at the center.

This is your opportunity to get internationally certified and learn how to support neurodivergent individuals with empathy, safety, and respect.

Let’s build an inclusive world—one that protects emotional well-being and nurtures long-term growth through neuro-affirming practices.
