2026–2027 Workshop & Connection Series
Thank you to Halton Region for being able to provide Free Monthly Workshops and Peer to Peer Connection Calls.
Welcome to our new community learning space! This year, we’ve redesigned our calendar to offer flexible, accessible learning and connection opportunities tailored specifically for parents, caregivers, and educators of neurodiverse children and youth.
Every month features three distinct ways to engage, learn, and find your community:
-
Lunch & Learn Sessions (Virtual): 60-minute, bite-sized, practical strategies you can implement right away. Perfect for a quick midday reset.
-
Evening Workshops (Virtual): Deep-dive sessions with guest experts exploring complex topics in detail, complete with dedicated Q&A time.
-
Peer-to-Peer Connection Calls (Virtual): A dedicated hour immediately following our evening workshops to drop the formal learning and just talk, share, and breathe with parents who truly understand.
