Knowing Myself (Taster Course)

This pilot course from Project All Rise is for young people (aged 11 and upwards) who think or learn differently, and for their parents or guardians.

To get the most out of it, we recommend watching it together.

We are offering a limited number of spots to preview the content and would be so grateful for your feedback.

This taster course has been created to empower a young audience with knowledge on different ways to focus and pay attention, our natural need for movement, how to honour our own needs and our own ways of doing things, as well as the concept of neurodiversity and the idea that the most typical approach doesn’t mean the best approach.

It will take 30-45 mins and is divided into video segments which you can watch at your own pace.
