The Curiosity Circle webinar, led by Kerry Murphy on October 10, 2023, provided an insightful exploration into combating ableism in early education. Attendees engaged with case studies and discussions to understand ableism’s impact on neurodivergent and disabled children. The session, now available for replay, offers strategies for educators to foster Neurodiversity Affirming Zones of Practice, ensuring inclusive and supportive learning environments.

In this special webinar, which you can watch back, Kerry helps us to explore the power of neurodiversity-affirming practice, shifting from a deficit-based approach to one that embraces the strengths and unique abilities of every child and in doing so creates a more inclusive and empowering environment that fosters positive self-identity.
