Kati Hajibagheri, BSc, MBBS, presents a live virtual professional training program on Neurodiversity 101: Understanding Neurodiversity.
Neurodiversity is the concept that individuals perceive and engage with the world in a multitude of unique ways. It shouldn’t be assumed that there is only one right way of thinking, learning, and behaving, and differences should not be perceived as defects. In the past, these conditions were viewed as problems that needed fixing. Thankfully, progressive thinking means that we now focus on celebrating and supporting neurodiversity. The need for understanding around Neurodiversity and inclusivity has never been greater. Neurodivergent individuals, including those with autism, ADHD, dyspraxia, and other neurological differences, bring unique perspectives and strengths with them. However, they may also face distinct challenges that require thoughtful strategies to help support them. Neurodiversity can be understood as a natural spectrum of human cognitio,n and a future without labels can lead to greater inclusion, innovation, and understanding.
Through a blend of interactive discussions and practical exercises, participants will gain a deeper understanding of neurodiversity and develop actionable strategies for promoting inclusion.
There are no formal entry requirements for this open program. This program is designed for individuals and professionals who work with people who are neurodiverse.
