Professional Learning and Development

Support for teachers and schools
Because no two children are alike, teacher training cannot possibly prepare you for every unique student. Understanding and connecting with children with social, emotional or behavioural differences can be challenging, even for experienced teachers. Acorn provides direct consultation to teachers and administrators, as well as training workshops for your whole staff.
Acorn provides professional learning and development to help educators and schools create inclusive communities. Any of the following workshops can be tailored to your school’s unique needs:
Understanding Autism
Understanding ADHD
Compassionate behaviour support
Supporting neurodivergent learners to succeed
The importance of communication (including AAC)
Social relationships
Executive functioning
Sensory processing
Handwriting
Trauma-informed practice
