This November we are launching the Neurodiversity Symposium focusing on 4 topics:

• Tactics and solutions for the classroom
• Support and tactics in the workplace
• Resilience techniques for parents
• Community Services

Each session will be facilitated, who will get the attendees to drill into what is happening today in our New Zealand community.

We really want to focus on New Zealand pushing to be at the forefront of neurodiversity support

As an attendee, you will go to the 2 streams that matter to you the most, though ideally it would be good to spread the attendees out, so we will be trying to align you to a “stream” in advance that you want to go to. 

In each stream we will be doing:

• Maturity Matrix – A great way of understand where you are compared to others out there to understand where we all are and encourage confidence that we are all learning
• Tactics – We will also then be focusing on the tactics that people have implemented, looking to implement, or would like to test with the attendees.  We are looking to discover together what tactics will be able to be worked on to mature the New Zealand community as a whole
• Challenges – Also, we will be digging into the challenges that people in attendance have experienced and what allowed them to overcome these.
• Specific workshop actions – For each of the 4 areas, we will also have a couple of specific actions that we will be doing in the workshop stream that will be focused on those 4 in particular.

Symposium Value:

• Workshopping ideas and tactics together with your peers
• Getting a perspective on where the community as a whole is
• Get to talk to people who are doing these things well and share things learnt
• Get an  opportunity to vent with people who understand
