In late 2018 renowned experts Rebecca Challoner and Christina Keeble decided to team up to run 4 Seminars across regional Victoria with the aim of getting as much information and assistance to people as possible on ADHD and Demand Avoidance. The tour took place throughout 2019 and was highly successful, selling out every location.

Following this they received an incredible number of requests from people all over the country asking to run Seminars in their towns or cities. Consequently, Rebecca and Christina made the decision to embark on a huge national tour visiting as many locations as possible in 2020/21. Unfortunately, Rebecca and Christina were unable to get to every location that was requested, so with that in mind, they are presenting in 2 locations in Victoria in March 2023.

ADHD receives little 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. Those with children with Demand Avoidance or demand avoidant behaviour are given even less.

These Seminars will endeavour to provide this much needed training. Each Seminar will take place over one day and will give those in attendance valuable information and strategies that will change their lives and the lives of their children or children they work with.

As well as being the CEO and Founder of My Spirited Child and the National PEKE Centre, Rebecca Challoner is also a Writer, Presenter and Trainer on diverse needs, learning difficulties and behaviour.

The Seminar will run from 10am until 3pm and will include a break as well as a Q&A session.

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a leading expert on this topic that receives little attention. This truly is a remarkable one off opportunity to gain a tremendous insight, knowledge and learn strategies that will be life changing to you or someone you know.
