Neurodiversity Education Webinars

A range of educational webinars to support your understanding

At ATTUNED, we specialise in a neurodiversity-affirming approach grounded in lived experience, research, and professional insight. Our work draws from deep roots in neuroscience, psychology, and real-world practice, centring the voices and needs of neurodivergent individuals and their families. These webinars are part of our ongoing commitment to supporting connection, understanding, and practical tools for navigating neurodivergent life—whether you’re a parent, teacher, professional, or neurodivergent yourself.

ATTUNED is a neuroaffirmative model rooted in lived experience, professional insight, and a deep respect for neurodivergent ways of being. We prioritise holistic, ethical, and validating support that honours the whole person, sensory systems, nervous system regulation, identity, and environment. As founders of ATTUNED, we (Emma and Lisa) are committed to delivering all sessions ourselves, ensuring every webinar reflects our values of integrity, compassion, and deep attunement to neurodivergent needs.
