These slides were developed for a recent keynote.
Here’s the session overview:
Empowered and Understood: Creating Inclusive Environments for Autistic Girls
Join Pooky for an engaging session that explores the unique experiences of autistic girls in school. Discover why autism is often overlooked in girls and the challenges they face. You will gain practical strategies for enhancing communication, adapting environments, and addressing the effects of masking and anxiety.
By creating safe, sensory-friendly spaces, we can empower autistic girls to thrive and showcase their strengths. This session blends professional insights with personal experiences, providing a comprehensive view of neurodivergence in girls.
If you were there, I hope these are a helpful aide-memoire. If not, I hope they make enough sense without me to be useful. If you’d like to download them, you can do so via this page on slideshare or via this page on Patreon.
