Seeing the World Through Your Autistic Child
Presenter: Dr Grace Kamuyu (PhD)
Date: 19 December 2026
Venue: Park Inn by Radisson Westlands, Waiyaki Way, Nairobi
About the Seminar
This seminar introduces attendees to contemporary, neuroaffirming understandings of autism. Autism is recognised as a form of human variation — a natural and expected part of the diversity found within the human population. Rather than viewing autism through a deficit lens, this seminar explores how autistic people perceive, process, and make sense of the world, and how this knowledge can transform the way support is designed and delivered.
Participants will gain foundational knowledge of autistic thinking, sensory processing, communication styles, and behavioural expression. The seminar emphasises respectful, person-centred approaches that honour autistic identity and promote meaningful, effective support.
This session with Dr Grace Kamuyu (PhD), a neurodiversity specialist, explores what really works for autistic children and adults: practical, neuroaffirming approaches that help them feel safe, calm, connected, and understood.
Key Learning Areas
- Autism as human variation and neurodiversity
- How autistic people perceive and process information
- Sensory and cognitive differences
- Interpreting behaviour through a neuroaffirming lens
- Designing meaningful, effective support strategies
