The Square Model (Online)
Neurodivergence is not a deficit, it’s a difference.
Unlock the tools to provide truly affirming support for Autistic and ADHD individuals in this essential, two-phase training! Created by Autistic and ADHD psychologists, Monique Mitchelson and Anna Clarke, The Square Model delivers an impactful framework that honours Neurodivergent experiences and needs in trauma-informed care.
Our multi-disciplinary approach means therapists, teachers, carers, professionals and Neurodivergent people will benefit from engaging in this education and learn how to best recognise and meet Neurodivergent needs.
This 3 day online workshop is grounded in the latest research and informed by evidence-based practices designed to address the specific needs of Neurodivergent individuals. Combining their lived and clinical experience, Monique Mitchelson and Anna Clarke bring a wealth of knowledge as both presenters and practitioners. Their deep understanding of Autistic and ADHD experiences ensures this workshop is not only informative but practical, equipping attendees with tools that translate seamlessly into real-world settings.
