In this training, we will be exploring neurodiversity as an intersection of human diversity, as well as the impacts of stigmatization and bias on this population. Additionally we will explore disparities in access and the impacts of assessor bias. Finally, we will explore example cases via an intersectional lens and considering neuro-affirming practices and their applications.
Program Goal
The participants will learn tenets of a neuro-affirming model of care within an ecological foundation. The participants will learn some best practices that include awareness of own communication styles and biases that can negatively impact care.

-
