About the ADHD & Autism Seminar

Rebecca Challoner and Christina Keeble are two of Australia’s most renowned experts in both ADHD and Autism respectively, and the pair have decided to come together to deliver this incredible Seminar.

ADHD and Autism receive nowhere near enough awareness and parents and educators are given limited, often no support or training on how to best help their children or children they work with. The diagnosis process is difficult and lonely for many parents or neurodivergent people themselves and they are often left with a huge amount of questions and little information or support moving forwards.

This Seminar will provide much needed information and training on both ADHD and Autism to support those new to diagnosis or potential diagnosis, as well as those further along in their journey. The Seminar will take place over one day and will give those in attendance valuable strategies and information that will change their lives and the lives of their children or children they work with.

Christina Keeble

 Christina Keeble is the founder of Christina Keeble Consulting and Co-Founder of National PEKE Centre. Her aim is to educate, collaborate, support and uplift families/carers, individuals and professionals who are neurodivergent themselves, who support a neurodivergent individual or who may just be looking to understand more about neurodiversity. She does this through her seminars & public speaking engagements, her writing and publications and through 1:1 support.

Christina has been in the field of special education since 2002 working with children from early childhood through to young adults transitioning out of school.

Christina has a Masters in Special Education, a Graduate Diploma in Primary Education and a BA with Honours in Psychology. She has spoken at conferences around Australia and is a published researcher and writer.

Through her variety and depth of experience, Christina has come to realise, the best way to support families and their children is to support and up skill the parents/carers. Christina’s lived experience as an Autistic & ADHD adult, teacher and mum to two neurodivergent children allows her to offer a unique personal and professional perspective.
