Professional development
At From the Start, we offer professional development that bridges neuroscience, behaviour, and real-world practice. Our workshops and training are designed for educators, support workers, therapists, and teams working with children of all ages and neurotypes.
We focus on practical, compassionate strategies that help professionals understand what’s happening in a child’s brain and body and how to respond in ways that support regulation, connection, and growth.
Whether you're looking to deepen your understanding of emotional regulation, trauma, neurodiversity, or developmentally appropriate practice, we tailor each session to your team’s needs.
Our goal is simple: to equip professionals with the knowledge and confidence to support children in a way that truly helps them thrive.
