Join Our Next Webinar to Learn About Animal Emotions and Consent

Tuesday, 23rd September

Live on teams 🖥️

This inclusive session focuses on how animal-assisted work can support neurodivergent clients of all ages, including those with autism, ADHD, sensory needs and learning differences. We’ll explore how animals can support communication, connection, and confidence, particularly in clients who have not responded well to traditional approaches. 

What You’ll Learn

  • How animals support co-regulation, communication, and emotional growth for neurodivergent individuals
  • The value of observation, curiosity and consent-led approaches
  • Stories and feedback from neurodivergent clients and families
  • Ways to adapt your environment, activities and session length

Who should join: This session is ideal for anyone supporting children or young people who struggle with attendance or anxiety related to education. This includes, therapists, SENCOs, teachers, learning mentors, parents, carers, AAI practitioners, and anyone supporting neurodivergent clients in education or therapy settings.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT US

The one-day introduction course was incredibly insightful and well-structured. I left feeling inspired and equipped with valuable skills to implement in my practice, I especially liked the time spent with the animals.

I can’t think of anything I would have like to change about the day, I liked everything. I did not expect it to be emotional, but it was. Thank you for a lovely day

I attended Elysian's one-day introductory day, and it was an eye-opening experience, I didn’t expect to feel that connected to the animals. I liked the valuable insights and practical experiences shared during the training. I left feeling inspired and motivated to do more in this field
