Join us as we explore how educators and practitioners can create truly inclusive environments where neurodiverse individuals thrive - academically, socially and emotionally.

This full-day event, open to staff, parents and students, brings together leading voices in neuroscience, education, and lived experience to share insights and practical strategies for fostering inclusion. Through keynote talks and interactive sessions in both English and French, participants will gain tools to better support neurodiverse individuals across school, home, and community settings.
