Workshops
FREE Parent Workshop: Understanding Neurodiversity in Parenting
Every child is unique, and so is the way they think, learn, and experience the world. This free, one-hour workshop is designed to help parents and caregivers better understand neurodiversity—shifting from a traditional “fix-it” mindset to one that values differences as natural and important.
Join us for an informative and supportive conversation about how we can foster understanding, acceptance, and a strong foundation for children to thrive.
Led by Rosie Newman, SPT Director
- Thursday, March 13th
- 4pm – 5pm PST
- Via Zoom
