- **Event Description**: How neurodevelopment, processing differences and early experiences can shape communication. Led by a Speech and Language Therapist.About this EventAbout this eventEvery young person communicates in their own way — but for some teenagers, differences in how they process information, understand social situations or respond to stress can make communication feel harder.This workshop offers a clear, supportive introduction to how neurodevelopmental differences (such as autism, ADHD and developmental language differences) can affect the way teens communicate. We will also look at how stress, developmental trauma and difficult early experiences may influence communication.The session is designed for parents and carers who want to understand their young person’s communication better and feel more confident supporting them at home.What we’ll coverThis parent‑friendly workshop will explore:Processing differencesHow young people take in, organise and respond to information — and why some teens may need more time, repetition or support.Social communication differencesWhat this can look like day‑to‑day (e.g., reading social situations, joining conversations, understanding tone or sarcasm, maintaining friendships).Communication and neurodevelopmentHow conditions such as autism, ADHD, developmental language disorder and other differences may shape communication styles and needs.The impact of stress and traumaHow early stress or trauma can affect trust, emotional safety, body language, shutdowns and communication patterns.Practical strategiesWays you can support your young person at home — including reducing communication pressure, promoting understanding and building confidence.This session is designed to be gentle, accessible and supportive.
