Wildflower Psychology has Creative Workshops for Children in Term 4 2024 and Term 1 2025.

Our Creative Workshops are specifically designed with neurodivergent children in mind. They are laid back, low demand, fun, and engaging. Each workshop has a different theme with sensory, science, and arts and crafts components.

How Will Your Children Benefit: Our workshops create a welcoming space where children can engage in meaningful social interactions and build lasting connections with their peers. By providing a supportive and encouraging environment, we help children develop self-confidence and feel a sense of accomplishment in their creations. Each workshop is designed around specific interests, allowing children to connect with others who share their passions, express themselves freely, and explore their unique identities. We place a strong emphasis on cultivating a growth mindset, where challenges are seen as opportunities for learning, and mistakes are embraced as a natural and valuable part of the journey toward personal growth and self-discovery.

Who Will Benefit: These groups are best suited to children who enjoy arts and crafts and will be able to sit and engage with the activities. There will be opportunities for movement, however, due to the size of the space, workshops are not well suited to children who require constant space and movement to regulate.
