Neurodiversity Workshops - Kickstart Learning

Places are offered on a first come, first served basis and payment must be made in advance. Additional workshops may become available dependent on demand.

All workshops take place at the Wooburn Scout Headquarters near High Wycombe with a maximum of eight children participating in each workshop.

We are running these workshops to give neurodivergent children the opportunity to find out how their unique and wonderful brains work; discuss issues related to being neurodivergent; and enable them to spend time with other neurodivergent children.

Our staff are experienced at working with neurodivergent children and supporting their individual needs. For example, workshops will include movement breaks and there will be sensory resources available to anyone who needs them.

All workshops are run by qualified teachers who are neurodivergent themselves so they understand what it is like growing up with a brain that works differently to many other people's. There will be a minimum of two staff members present at all times and at least one staff member will be first aid qualified. All staff members are DBS checked.

Individual workshops cost £30 for 1.5 hours and £40 for the 2-hour sibling workshop.

All children attending the workshops need to be able to participate in a group environment safely and have the ability to engage in discussions about neurodiversity. Children may attend whether they have a formal diagnosis or not and whether they are aware of any diagnosis or not. A key factor of the workshops is that all the children attending want to be there so please discuss this opportunity with your child before booking.

"Small group work seldom works with him at school so the ease with which he joined in your session is a testament to your skills and empathy."

"Attending the workshops was the first time in years I had seen my son run to the car because he could not wait to attend the next workshop."
