With Dr. Michelle Schmidt & Allison Balfour

What does neurodivergence look like in the early years—and how can we respond with curiosity, care, and confidence? In this empowering session, discover how to support Autistic and otherwise neurodivergent children in preschool and early primary settings with strategies that celebrate difference and build connection.

You’ll explore:

• Early signs and communication styles of neurodivergent kids
• Tools to support regulation, play, and safety
• Inclusive practices that help children thrive in home, school, and community environments

Designed for early childhood educators, family support professionals, and caregivers, this session is your invitation to deepen your understanding of neurodiversity—right from the start.

Join us to support neurodivergent kids in becoming their best selves—on their terms.
