Lived Experience of Neurodiversity-Affirming Care

Join us for a free Neurodiversity Celebration Week panel to explore the positive ripple effect that can come from strengths-based, neurodiversity-affirming care.

Mother and Child Hugging

As part of Neurodiversity Celebration Week, we’ll be sharing the stories of both speech therapists and parents to explore real-life experiences of neurodiversity-affirming care and neurodiversity-affirming therapy.

Over the 45 minute webinar, we’ll discuss what it looks like to champion and celebrate neurodiversity in a world that isn’t always accommodating.

We’ll talk about the impact of taking the time to truly celebrate and validate individual experiences, and how this leads to increased confidence for the individual, validation for the family, and deep professional fulfillment for the care team.
