Advocating for Your Neurodivergent Child at School
with Bre Wandrych, Social Worker and ADHD Specialist

Join us in person at Creative Continuum Therapy in Phoenix for a supportive, neurodivergent-affirming workshop designed to help you confidently advocate for your child at school.

This workshop is for parents and caregivers of Autistic, ADHD, anxious, and other neurodivergent learners. You’ll gain practical strategies for navigating school systems, collaborating with teachers and teams, and supporting your child’s unique needs—with empathy, clarity, and confidence.

Connect, learn, and leave feeling empowered—right here in your community.

What You’ll Learn:

  • The Difference Between IEPs and 504 Plans
    Understand how each plan works, who qualifies, and what types of supports they offer.

  • How to Be an Effective Advocate
    Get practical tips for speaking up, asking the right questions, and ensuring your child’s needs are recognized and met.

  • How to Spot Red Flags in Plans and Goals
    Learn how to identify pathologizing language or goals that don’t affirm your child’s strengths or neurodivergent identity.

  • How to Prepare for Meetings with Confidence
    Walk away with actionable tools like checklists, question prompts, and binder systems to help you feel organized and ready.

Space is intentionally limited to allow for personalized discussion and parent-to-parent collaboration.
