Embracing Difference

Autism Spectrum Disorders

with Dr Lee Sturgeon
Consultant Senior Clinical & Developmental Psychologist 

At Network, we believe that embracing differences in OOSH! This is vital for children to be themselves. As Educators we need to think about what we can practically do to support all children to thrive. This informative session is essential for all educators wanting to get a better understanding of Autism Spectrum Disorders. Children diagnosed as autistic, are always unique, totally interesting and sometimes mysterious!
