About the Event

Because learning and thinking differently deserves understanding, not misunderstanding.


When the Neurodiversity Show 2025 was unexpectedly cancelled, we knew we didn’t want the conversations to stop. That’s why we’re inviting you to join Davis Neurodiversity Online — a two-day series of live webinars, practical insights, and open discussions from the Davis UK & Ireland team and guest expert presenters.


Together, we’ll explore empowering solutions for dyslexia, ADHD, autism, early learning challenges, and math difficulties — helping parents, educators, and adults gain tools to support neurodivergent thinkers with respect and understanding.


🗓️ Event Highlights

✔️ Discover why bright dyslexic individuals are often missed — and how to unlock their true potential.

✔️ Reframe ADHD as a difference in attention, not a deficit.

✔️ Learn practical strategies for early years learning and reading success.

✔️ Understand how the Davis Autism Approach supports identity and self-regulation.

✔️ Explore why math can be so hard for visual thinkers — and how to make it click.

✔️ Get your questions answered at our Ask a Davis Expert live Q&A session.
