Workshops and Courses
ADD-vance provides a range of courses and workshops for parents & carers, to help build your knowledge, navigate the SEND system and provide you with tools and strategies to help your neurodivergent child thrive. No diagnosis is required to attend any of our workshops or courses.
All our training is provided by two specialist and fully qualified trainers. Trainers are also ‘experts by experience’ – we all have neurodivergent children and many of us have a diagnosis ourselves!
Our courses run every half-term and workshops every term. For full details of our current schedule and to book your FREE tickets, please see our Eventbrite page.
6 Week Courses: October - December
Our popular 6-week courses on Understanding Autism and ADHD are a great way to meet other parents & carers and discuss topics in depth. We have different courses for different age groups (early years, primary and teens) as well as courses for Dads and the parents of girls. Each course is bespoke to the needs of the group. Some courses are face to face as well as online and are across a range of days and times.
