Rethinking Hygiene: Inclusive Strategies for Neurodivergent Wellbeing
An online webinar hosted by Autism Early Support
December 4th, 12 pm – 1.30 pm GMT
Webinar Description:
Join Laura Hellfeld of Neurodivergent Nurse Consulting for an insightful webinar designed for parents, carers, and individuals interested in exploring their own self-care. Together, we’ll approach hygiene from a neuro-affirming perspective, diving into sensory needs, autonomy, communication, identity-expression and healthcare aspects that influence hygiene routines.
During this session, you’ll be invited to reflect on your own experiences and practices as we:
- Discuss what are the goals with hygiene
- Explore why hygiene can sometimes be challenging
- Chat about how identity and co-occurring health care conditions can impact accessing hygiene
- Share practical, easy-to-implement strategies you can use right away
- Begin to look a variety of hygiene products in order to honour sensory needs and autonomy
Those attending the live session will also have the chance to ask questions and get personalised answers at the end of the webinar.
Attendants will receive links to articles and resources for further support.
