Celebrating Neurodiversity In The Woods block mentored by Michael James
A summary
The Forest School movement has always been neurodiverse at every level. Grab your morning cuppa and join us for a discussion about what this means and the potential Forest School has has to create inclusive learning communities. . We'll be describing the five "A"s of neurodiversity affirming practice and how we can all apply these in our sessions. This is an exciting opportunity to share our panel's deep knowledge and insight into how Forest School can create more accepting environments for neurodivergent people and to discuss as a community how we can move forward together and celebrate our neurodiversity. If there are any topics you'd really like us to cover, please message us in advance.
