SUMMARY:Autism and Girls - The Hidden Gender
DESCRIPTION:‘Are parents and professionals missing the signs of autism in girls?’ (Kate Reynolds) \nAutism is often described as the ‘exaggerated male brain’ and certainly there is prevalence in diagnosis with current National Autistic Society figures showing that only 1 in 4 diagnoses are female. Is this really an accurate picture though? Are boys really more susceptible to this condition? \nIn this course\, we explore why autism is different for girls\, the gender issues within diagnostic methods and the issues with gender bias even post diagnosis. We will look at the particular characteristics presenting within girls as well as female friendly strategies for dealing with big issues such as puberty.

SUMMARY:Understanding Sensory Processing Disorder
DESCRIPTION:‘Sensory Processing Disorder is not the end of the world. It is the beginning of a whole new world!’ \nFrom the child who seeks out certain tastes and textures to the child who trips over every bump to the child who actively avoids touch\, hypersensitivity (over responsiveness) and hypo sensitivity (under responsiveness) to sensory information can be challenging both to identify and to support. \nIn this short course\, we will explore the complex nature of Sensory Processing Disorder\, it’s inconsistencies and effective ways to support children who struggle to process everyday sensations. \nTickets are £25.00 per delegate. \nFree parking is available at the venue. Refreshments included.
