WHAT OTHERS SAY...

Nadia Du Plessis Understanding ADHD Training 17 May 2025
  • absolutely fabulous. Amazing, wonderful training, such a big help & support to those struggling. The support of Spectrum connections is invaluable. A++ morning educational training that couldn’t have been better communicated & understood well. More of this training would be invaluable to Tauranga families.
  • Access to an educational psychologist to be able to Q&A for an affordable price! Fantastic info, very comprehensive. Great to have a copy of the slides will go home & go over them again more slowly. Gaining and increased understanding & more clarity.
  • Information and understanding of benefits and challenges alongside how to support these. Nadia is a fantastic, knowledgeable and empathetic presenter. It is invaluable to have the time to share experiences and ideas with other parents. A chance to ask a professional our questions, many do not have to money to access help like this.
  • Lots of info in a short space of time but fantastically presented. Lots of great time for Q&A & discussion. Thank you! As an ECE Kaialeo – This would be fabulous PLD for our Kaialeo and should absolutely be funded to support Kaialeo knowledge (simpler than ENGAGE and Incredible Years which are both more intense & longer).
  • Amazing presentation, easy to digest, relatable & real! I would love this information to be yelled from the rooftops. Nadia is exceptional, so knowledgeable and willing to share. Very invaluable. Thank you!
  • I found this session very informative. Thank you! I would like to attend more. Easy to follow & listen to.
