(FREE) Montessori Colloquium: Guidance and Support to Honor the Child: A Montessori Perspective on Neurodivergence and Family Partnership with Tristan Kladzyk & Seslie Recker!

April 21 @ 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Free

Join us on Tuesday, April 21st, at 7:00 p.m. ET for an exciting webinar on Guidance and Support to Honor the Child: A Montessori Perspective on Neurodivergence and Family Partnership with Tristan Kladzyk & Seslie Recker!

Event Description:

This presentation invites Montessori educators to reconsider how we understand and support ADHD and autistic children in the first plane. Rather than offering prescriptive solutions, we focus on shifting perspective: from deficit to dignity, from compliance to connection, and from child-centered intervention to family-centered partnership. Grounded in Montessori philosophy and lived experience, this session encourages reflection on how we prepare ourselves and our environments to truly honor the child.
