Neurodiversity-affirming practice in OSHC (designed by NOSHSA)
Professional development for OSHC professionals
It’s likely you have at least one child with ADHD, Autism or another type of neurodivergence at your OSHC service, whether you know it or not. So how can we create environments where neurodivergent children feel accepted, supported and celebrated? How can we adapt our approach to behaviour, communication and learning in ways that benefit all children? Our professional development package will grow your educator team’s understanding of neurodiversity, Autism and ADHD, and share practical ideas to support neurodiversity-affirming practice with children and their families.
