Learn how you can create more neuro-inclusive community sessions for those you support.
Reasonable adjustments are ways in which we can change our working environment or arrangements to make sure what we do is as accessible and inclusive as possible. From members of staff and volunteers to service users, these changes should remove disadvantages at all levels.
But how do we get started, and what can we do to ensure we’re making our services truly accessible?
Join us for this special meeting, which includes a practical session exploring how small changes can make community groups, activities and support services more welcoming for neurodivergent children, young people and adults.
Together, we will explore some of the common barriers neurodivergent people can experience when accessing community settings, from communication and sensory environments to expectations, routines and participation. Using the principles of neuroinclusion, the session will focus on practical strategies that help create spaces where people feel understood, supported and able to participate in ways that work for them.
About the trainer
Training for this session forms part of our Disability & Reasonable Adjustments programme, facilitated by Evenbreak.
Evenbreak are a specialist inclusive recruitment and training organisation, led by people with lived experience of disability. This high-quality training – designed and delivered by the organisation’s Deaf, disabled and neurodivergent colleagues – will bring clarity and warmth to the subject, and ensure people feel capable of engaging with change rather than anxious about getting it wrong.
Please note: This training forms part of a regular meeting for the Children & Young People’s Mental Health Network, and will take place during the first 30 minutes of the session. Attendees are welcome to stay for the rest of the meeting, or leave once the training has finished.
This session is ideal for Somerset-based professionals and community practitioners who want to build confidence in creating more inclusive, accessible and welcoming experiences for neurodivergent people – especially those whose work supports the mental wellbeing of children and young people in the county.
Session attendees are also eligible for one of 50 Best Practice Portal licenses, which grants access to a learning hub filled with micro-learning modules, lived experience insights, and practical resources to help build your confidence. Licenses are issued on a first come, first served basis to those who have completed our Expression of Interest Form.
