🌻 Did you know? Many disabilities aren’t immediately apparent.

Autism, ADHD, anxiety, hearing loss, chronic pain, diabetes, Crohn’s and hundreds more can be non-visible.

Globally, 1 in 6 people live with a disability, and up to 80% of disabilities are non-visible.

The Sunflower gives people a simple way to discreetly signal that they may need a little more time, help or understanding.

Wearing the Sunflower can help make everyday experiences feel a little easier, more accessible and inclusive. 💛

Sharing to help raise awareness of this debilitating condition, POTS.

One of the many co-occurring conditions with neurodivergence.

Being diagnosed with postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome in regional Australia means treatment is far away and local understanding of the condition is minimal.

EXECUTIVE FUNCTION

This is one of the most important topics to get your head around for providing the support your neurodivergent child needs on a daily basis.

I had never heard of EF before I entered the neurodiversity space, but hearing about it from Seth Perler was THE most important part of my journey that helped me to understand neurodivergent children better. Seth is one of the best educators in this space. I highly recommend that you join his Facebook group and watch at least some of the videos in his online summit - The Executive Function Online Summit.

There are lots of sessions to watch right now for free. If you want to access them for longer you can pay for the VIP pass. The price is still at the sale price of USD 99 but will go up as soon as the summit finishes.

Register for free here, using my affiliate link. If you decide to go for the VIP pass, I will get a small percentage of your payment because I am an affiliate member. That helps me to keep my support group going.

Join the free online Executive Function Summit for parents, teachers, and professionals. Get practical strategies to help struggling students thrive.
