What if the right kind of cartoon could help a neurodivergent child feel understood, capable, and confident in the world?

In this powerful and practical workshop, writer/producer Sharon Tosten of Royal Toast Films shares how she creates cartoons and books specifically designed to support neurodivergent children—helping them build real-world skills while embracing what makes them unique.
This session is designed for parents, creatives, educators, and anyone interested in how media can be used to create meaningful, positive change.

## What You’ll Learn
