NEURODIVERSITY KEYNOTES, PRESENTATIONS AND WORKSHOPS
Anxiety, ADHD, Neurodiversity and Mental Wellbeing – Empowering Educators to Support Every Student
Neurodiversity affects up to 20% of the population, yet misconceptions and challenges often hinder educators’ ability to fully support their students. What if we shifted the focus to a strengths-based approach that celebrates diversity while addressing unique needs?
Dr. Amanda Mullin’s workshops and presentations are designed to answer the pressing questions educators face in today’s classrooms:
- Is the prevalence of neurodevelopmental conditions increasing, or is awareness improving?
- How can educators identify and support students who need tailored interventions?
- What practical strategies prevent staff burnout when managing big emotions in the classroom?
- How can schools refine teaching, learning, and assessment methods to better support students with disabilities?
- What is the profile of a twice-exceptional student, and how can they be nurtured?
- Are ADHD and Autism support strategies different, and how do we implement them effectively?
- What are the best interventions for improving attention, memory, and concentration?
Neurodiversity is not a label – it’s a lens through which we can better understand and support our students. Emotional dysregulation and learning challenges don’t exist in isolation; they ripple through classrooms, impacting peers, teachers, and the overall learning environment.
Neurodiversity is not a label. For every student, brain differences create a ripple effect – when a student grapples with emotional dysregulation, it reverberates through the classroom. From peers to educators, the impact is multifaceted, emphasizing the need for practical and effective strategies.

Our mission is to empower educators to seamlessly cater to a diverse student body, ensuring every child has an opportunity to flourish.
