Ever wondered how embracing neurodiversity can transform family life? Join us as we welcome Rebecca Challoner, the incredible founder of My Spirited Child and co-founder of PEKE Centres. Rebecca shares her powerful journey from a neurodivergent teacher to a devoted advocate for neurodivergent individuals and their families. Through her own experiences with ADHD and dyslexia, as well as raising neurodivergent children, she underscores the importance of affirming environments that celebrate strengths instead of aiming to 'cure' differences. Rebecca's initiatives have revolutionized market standards for neurodiversity-affirming practices, marking a critical shift from a medical to a social model of understanding neurodivergence.
