Do you have a twice exceptional student or child who is underperforming in school? Let’s help them get their light back! A happy and engaged student is one who will take on challenges. In this positivity-focused workshop, we will emphasize the many reasons neurodiverse students have to celebrate their diagnoses. We will identify strategies for building confidence, self-esteem, and self-efficacy by providing opportunities for individuals to show and grow their strengths, learning ways to tease apart the conceptual content goals from the challenges in expression, and integrating strength-based strategies into everyday life.
