This dynamic, research-based training is designed for educators, after-school staff, coaches, and youth-development professionals who want to better understand how children grow, learn, and interact — and how to create environments where all students thrive.
By the end of this session, you will be able to:
Identify typical physical, language, cognitive, social, and emotional developmental milestones for children ages 4–14
Recognize a wide range of neurodiverse learning profiles across these developmental domains
Apply practical, real-world strategies to support and include all learners in your programs
Every child develops in their own way. When we understand the “why” behind behaviors, learning differences, and social interactions, we become more effective, more compassionate, and more impactful in our work.
This training will give you tools you can use immediately in your classrooms, gyms, enrichment programs, and camps.
