How can we support children with neurodivergences during the transition from kindergarten to primary school in such a way that they feel understood and empowered?
Our new event format – consisting of a free online "Teatime Talk" and the in-depth webinar "Expert Forum" – addresses the question of how children with neurodivergent development can be supported sensitively, resourcefully, and effectively during the transition from kindergarten to primary school. During Teatime, you will receive initial insights into the unique opportunities and challenges of this significant developmental phase. The subsequent Expert Forum will delve deeper into practical approaches, with a particular focus on building relationships, fostering resilience, and successful collaboration between kindergarten, school, and other participating institutions. The goal is to broaden perspectives, strengthen confidence in action, and collaboratively develop pathways for supportive transitions. Both events will take place online via Zoom. You can register for each event independently and thus participate in either one or both.
