Join us for a thoughtful conversation…

Suzanne Fageol and Craig Weiner welcome Silke Johnson, founder of the Melody Learning Center, for an exploration of what it truly means to work in neurodiversity-affirming ways.

Drawing on more than twenty-five years supporting neurodivergent children, adolescents, adults, and their families, Silke will share practical wisdom, clinical experience, and gentle insights that can help practitioners create sessions that feel safer, more responsive, and more effective.

Rather than focusing on techniques alone, this conversation explores the human relationship that makes any technique possible.

Together we’ll explore…

  • Understanding neurodivergence through a compassionate, strengths-based lens.
  • Creating safety before technique.
  • Practical adaptations of EFT for neurodivergent clients.
  • The interaction of trauma and neurodivergence.
  • Supporting parents, families, and caregivers.

You’ll leave with…

  • Greater confidence working with neurodivergent clients
  • Practical EFT adaptations you can use immediately
  • A deeper understanding of nervous system regulation
  • New ways to think about safety and connection
  • Greater compassion for both clients and caregivers
  • Inspiration from one of the field’s most experienced practitioners
