Real inclusion isn't about ticking off a checklist. It is about connected and caring relationships, and it can only happen when we are willing to listen to disabled people and work with them to ensure our spaces and services are meeting everyone's needs. In "Neurodiversity & Inclusivity" Paula Flinn will challenge the dominant narrative surrounding autism and other disabilities, as we explore and consider the Neurodiversity Paradigm and the Social Model of Disability. She will look at how understanding and embracing these concepts is vital in ensuring our classes and communities are safe and inclusive for neurodivergent children and adults.

Paula Flinn is a movement loving, neurodivergent woman and mother, who is curious about everything! She works as a Breathwork practitioner and Parkour coach, and is fascinated by the ways in which we can integrate and weave together healing with movement.
