3. BE your best academy: life skills training
Be Your Best Academy are a 100% neurodivergent team, and we create personal and professional development courses for adults who identify as neurodivergent.
The courses aim to help neurodivergent individuals navigate daily life. The BYB team know that neurodivergent people have amazing talents and brilliant minds, yet can lack some 'simple' skills for life. Thus the learning academy was born, creating educational materials designed for a neurodivergent mind. The courses meet an identified community need for educational resources for:
Being better organised
Understanding complex emotions
'Adulting' when living independently
There are also neurodiversity courses for employers, parents and health care workers.
