Are you ready to shift your lens and adapt your approach when it comes to supporting neurodivergent people?

Sonny can visit workplaces, schools, universities, organisations or service providers (physically and virtually) to deliver informative and engaging workshops and talks on a range of topics.

Do you have an established theme or topic in mind?

If you can’t find the topic you’re looking for, get in touch at the bottom of this page and Sonny will design the training or talk your team needs.

  • In this workshop, participants will learn about neurodivergence and common neurodivergent differences including sensory differences, executive functioning differences, attention differences, social and communication differences, voice hearing, plurality and altered states. Participants will also walk away with an understanding of neurodivergent terminology including spoon theory, stimming, spikey skillsets, special interests, masking, meltdowns and burnout. 

  • In this workshop, participants will learn how to create a neurodiversity inclusive workplace for neurodivergent people through reframing our language and practical approaches, strategies and tools to adapt environments, instructions, policies and processes.

  • In this workshop, participants will learn about Neurodiversity Affirming Practice and how to support neurodivergent individuals in their clinical practice. Participants will walk away with an understanding of neurodiversity terminology, principles of Neurodiversity Affirming Practice, ableism within traditional therapies and how to put Neurodiversity Affirming Practice principles into practice.

  • Deepen your understanding of neuronormativity and the relationship between neuronormativity, capitalism and the DSM. Explore how we can begin to challenge and disrupt neuronormative expectations, values, ideals and norms within classrooms, workplaces, therapy and our relationships with each other and ourselves. 

  • In this workshop, participants will learn how to create a neurodiversity inclusive classroom for neurodivergent students by understanding executive functioning, learning and sensory differences, supporting Autistic communication and play and understanding meltdowns, burnout, stimming and special interests.
