Tenderland Outreach

Neurodiversity and Behavior Support Workshops

Practical insight, encouragement, and real-world understanding for parents, caregivers, and school staff supporting children with Autism, ADHD, and sensory differences.

Workshops

When we understand the “why” behind a behavior, frustration can become empathy and connection.

Navigating life with a neurodivergent child or student can feel overwhelming and exhausting. Standard advice often overlooks sensory overload, communication barriers, and executive functioning challenges. These workshops offer a safe, non-judgmental space to gain clarity, hear realistic ideas, and feel understood.

About the presenter

Chika Ojirika

Chika Ojirika is a Certified Mental Health Coach, trained to coach parents and caregivers, and has spent over 17 years raising a child on the autism spectrum. Tenderland workshops pair that lived experience with coaching principles in a warm, judgment-free setting where families and school staff can feel understood and leave with realistic ideas.

Topics

Core workshop topics

Understanding Behavior

A plain-language look at how Autism and ADHD can affect sensory processing and daily life. Every child is different.

Behavior as Communication

Seeing meltdowns and shutdowns as signs of distress rather than willful defiance, and exploring what may be behind them.

Calm and Structure at Home

Easing transitions, morning routines, and homework stress with predictable visual routines and calm, supportive responses.

Caregiver Wellbeing

Acknowledging the weight of full-time caregiving, with practical ways to manage stress and build resilience.

The session

What to expect

Relatable and grounded

Real stories from 17+ years of caregiving, shared alongside coaching principles.

Open Q and A

A welcoming space to ask questions, share experiences, or simply listen.

No homework, no pressure
