Why we developed the Why are friendships so hard? Live CPD Webinar

Friendships are a fundamental part of human development, yet many students with executive function challenges find it difficult to form and sustain meaningful relationships. This webinar sheds light on how the brain, particularly the prefrontal cortex, influences social interactions. Your host provides evidence-backed strategies to help students navigate the complex social landscape, addressing the cognitive skills needed to build supportive and lasting friendships.

“So many of the neurodivergent children in our school struggle with friendships I had never thought that their executive functioning could be at the root of their challenges. Lots of food for thought.”

Rob – Head of Pastoral
