Supporting Autistic wellbeing without punishment, shame, or behaviour charts. 

Too often, behaviour is misunderstood while distress goes unseen. In this session, we’ll reframe behaviour through a neuro-affirming lens—exploring what Autistic and Neurodivergent children are really communicating. You’ll leave with practical strategies and printable tools that validate, co-regulate, and support true connection.
