NeuroBears Course

I was honoured to be an official NeuroBears licence holder throughout 2024 . I would highly recommend this neuro-affirming course for young people and their families (and also those working in educational settings!).  I have delivered family NeuroBears workshops through Beacon NeuroConnect funded by Open Mental Health throughout 2024.

NeuroBears is a course for Autistic children, young people and their families to help them understand and express their Autistic experience and self-advocate.

“Through NeuroBears we hope that young people will begin to understand their own neurology and Autistic experience”.

In this neurodiversity-affirming, strength-based model NeuroBears covers:


Introduction: Getting to Know You

History of Autism
Autism Myths

Neurodivergence 

What Autism Isn’t

Autism and Sensory Experience

Autistic Overwhelm

Autistic Communication

Autistic Masking

Spoons and Autistic burnout

Autistic Identity

Course Summary: The Beginning of Your Journey


This is a great flexible neurodiversity-affirming course that can fit around the needs of your young person and own family or can be delivered in schools or another setting such as charity groups that support young Autistic people.
