Testimonials

I cannot recommend this programme enough, I enjoyed all elements of the programme, it was very engaging from start to finish. Fantastic and very insightful tutors who themselves are neurodiverse, which greatly added to the depth and breadth of the programme. I feel so much more informed and confident in my work with neurodiverse clients.

5 Stars from me. Exceptional training so robust. A lovely blend of theory and practical skills development. The fact that the facilitators were neurodiverse drew me to the programme “ not about us, without us” . The Greenane Centre is most certainly leading the way in evidence based Neurodiversity Informed Training. I will definitely be back to undertake more training with this organisation.

A truly neurodivergent affirming course, informative and interesting throughout. It exceeded all my expectations. Left me feeling empowered to make immediate changes to my practice in ways I wasn't always expecting. This is a course grounded in theory and evidence, with so many practical applications for clients and colleagues. Thank you - highly recommend.
