DETAILS OF WORKSHOP
Are you confident that your practice is truly neurodiversity-affirming?
This introductory workshop offers a foundational overview of the Neurodiversity movement and invites therapists to reconsider pathology-based models through the lens of the social model of disability. We will explore key terminology and the impact of language, alongside the intersections between neurodivergence and LGBTQIA+ identities.
Participants will also reflect on lived neurodivergent experience before moving into practical, accessible steps toward making their work more neuroaffirming and LGBTQIA+-affirming. Through applied discussion and case examples, this session provides a solid starting point for developing a more inclusive, neuro-affirming practice.
