Professional Curiosity: Assessing and Supporting Neurodivergent Foster Carers and Caregivers

Trainer Consultant – Natalia Osborne-Pearce

A growing number of people in Wales are seeking a diagnosis for ADHD or autism. Many health boards have seen a substantial rise in referrals to neurodevelopmental services, according to research, monthly referrals in one area reported to have doubled over the past 4 years.

 

This workshop explores the common barriers that many neurodivergent adults face and discusses how to effectively assess and support prospective foster carers and caregivers during both the assessment process and post-approval stages.

 

Professionals will have the opportunity to reflect on ways to become more neuroinclusive and consider reasonable adjustments they can implement, all while balancing the necessity of thorough assessments to ensure that children are placed with safe families that can meet their needs.

 

Participants will delve into these themes while evaluating their professional roles and responsibilities.

Audience
