Cracking The Neurodiversity Code...Welcome to the ultimate event to give families strength in neurodiversity.
This is for the parents, carers, teachers and professionals seeking the clarity, confidence and tools to support and empower neurodivergent children.
Brought to you by Bay Paediatrics – The New Zealand Neurodiversity Centre of Excellence, this event is for any family that’s ever felt overwhelmed, overlooked or simply trapped in the neurodiversity maze.
It’s time to let world-class experts give you the tools to crack the code.
What is EPIC Families LIVE?
EPIC stands for Extraordinary Parents & Incredible Children. We believe every neurodiverse family is already extraordinary. But EPIC Families LIVE helps you go further—toward deeper confidence, connection and understanding.
This is not a typical conference. This is real talk, real strategies, and a real community. You’ll hear from paediatricians, psychologists, psychiatrists, therapists and changemakers. And you’ll walk away with practical ideas to help you lead your child—and yourself—towards a stronger future.
We are not here to lecture you.
We are not here to judge.
We’re here because we’ve lived it.
We’ve been exhausted by the meltdowns and the outbursts.
We’ve been the parent ignored at school meetings.
We’ve been confused after trying ‘everything’…and nothing works.
We’ve been told our child is “just naughty”.
We’ve been through the guilt, the shame, the endless googling at midnight.
And we’ve had enough.
What You’ll Experience:
EPIC Families LIVE is your chance to be surrounded by those who truly get it. Our line-up of speakers will give you simple, jargon-free insights to help you navigate challenges such as:
• Emotional meltdowns, big feelings & regulation
• School struggles, focus issues & teacher communication
• Bedtimes, sleep and the night-time battles
• Anxiety (for your child…and you)
• Mealtime dramas & picky eating
• Parenting when you’re also neurodivergent
• Talking to your child about ADHD
• Helping them discover their “ADHD Advantage”
And more.
This event is full of learning without lectures, empowerment without PowerPoint, and community without condescension. Expect powerful talks, expert panels, practical tools, and a warm, inclusive, atmosphere.
Yes, Children ARE Welcome.
We know how hard it is to find childcare—or to be told your child isn’t welcome. That’s why EPIC Families LIVE has space for them too. Children are welcome in the theatre with you (with assigned seats), or they can enjoy activities in a nearby supervised area. You’ll be close by, and we’ll bring you together if needed.
Please note: children’s activities happen in a separate room and the main show is theatre-style seating. For everyone’s comfort, we kindly ask that theatre doors remain closed during performances.
Why Attend?
Because you’re not alone.
Because you shouldn’t have to put your family’s life on hold.
Because you need to be caught if you fall through the cracks.
Because no family deserves to get left behind.
Because YOU deserve better.
And because your child deserves a future where they are seen, heard, celebrated and understood.
This is a movement. A revolution. A place where you will finally feel at home.
Join us at EPIC Families LIVE and take the next step in building the future your family deserves.
