Synopsis: The event will include a range of speakers (inc researchers, practitioners, teachers, young people) and information from a diverse range of current research projects, applied projects within schools across the County, and young people's insights/lived experiences. The session will include topics such as school attendance, school-based anxiety, and the quality of school life for autistic and neurodivergent young people (primary and secondary). The event is ideally suited to teachers, families, individuals with experience of neurodivergence, practitioners, researchers, students, and the general population. At the heart of this event is the fact that attendees will hear from a diverse range of voices and key stakeholders involved with this important topic, going away with increased knowledge and practical support.
