MEPI Conference 2026 and Seeds of Life

Seeds of Life Montessori Academy is proud to share that María Eva Chaffin will be presenting at the Montessori Evergreen (MEPI) Conference in 2026.


Seeing the Unseen: Tools for Neurodivergent Kids


In Seeing the Unseen, María Eva invites educators to look beyond behaviors and labels to better understand the lived experience of neurodivergent children in Montessori environments. This session centers on the belief that when adults learn to truly see the child, through observation, regulation, and reflection, we unlock the ability to respond with clarity, compassion, and intention.

As a Montessori educator, inclusion specialist, and international trainer, María Eva shares practical tools that support neurodivergent children in developing independence, emotional safety, and confidence. Participants will explore how subtle shifts in adult awareness, expectations, and environment design can transform daily classroom experiences for children who are often misunderstood or overlooked.
