✨ Creating Truly Inclusive Schools ✨ PaJeS Wellbeing Leads, Julia Alberga and Jessica Overlander-kaye, hosted an insightful workshop for Wellbeing Leads and DSLs on Neuro-affirming Practices with Dr Gemma Handelsman. With 20 schools attending in person and 5 joining online from Manchester and Gibraltar, the session provided a deep dive into how schools can create more inclusive environments for neurodiverse students. 💡 One online participant shared: "That was so helpful and informative – thank you so much for allowing me to join remotely!" Dr. Handelsman explored the benefits of neuro-affirming practice, equipping educators with practical strategies to encourage understanding, support, and true inclusion in their schools.

Fabulous start to Neurodiversity Celebration Week! Today I delivered a workshop for wellbeing leads and senior leaders across a range of primary and secondary schools (joining us in the room and online!). We explored neurodiversity, neuroinclusion and how whole school systemic changes can make learning easier and education more enjoyable for all children and young people. Thank you to Julia Alberga and Jessica Overlander-kaye at PaJeS for organising and hosting the event and all the wonderful school staff who joined us. #neurodiversitycelebrationweek #neurodiversity #neuroinclusion #educationalpsychology #inclusiveeducation
