Neuro-Affirming Professional Development Training
Neuro-affirming professional development training for professionals, parents, schools, and corporate organisations who support autistic, ADHD, AuDHD, neurodivergent and neuroqueer individuals.
Approach
Neuro-affirming professional development training at Neuroaffirming Futures focuses on understanding neurodiversity, the neurodiversity paradigm, and neuro-affirming practices.
This creates a foundation to support Autistic, ADHD, AuDHD, neurodivergent and neuroqueer folk in affirming ways.
Training Options
To meet the needs of both individuals and organisations, we offer two kinds of training sessions:
Bespoke training with customised content for your organisation’s specific needs, available year-round.

About the Facilitator
I’m Abi Raymond, the neurodivergent queer (AuDHD dyslexic) counsellor and arts therapist who creates and facilitates all training sessions.
I bring my roles as counsellor, arts therapist, supervisor, trainer, and neurodiversity advocate, together with my experience as a mother and my 20 years of professional practice.
This combination of professional and lived experience allows me to offer practical, intersectional, neuro-affirming approaches in training that reflect real challenges and needs of neurodivergent people.
