Starting Early, Strengthening Neurodiversity

In summary, neurodiversity is the variation in all human cognition. It is as normal and critical for our social communities as biodiversity is for the planet. Autism spectrum disorder (ASD), ADHD, Dyslexia, Tourettes and other related syndromes are all examples of neurodiverse conditions. Understanding and embracing these differences in the education system as well as the workplace can greatly benefit individuals as well as our social organizations. In this webinar, hear from two experts on how to create education and workplace environments that will empower neurodivergent individuals to lean into their strengths and how parents, educators and company leaders, can create communities that promote and embrace these differences.

Learning objectives:

• Participants will be able to define the concept of neurodiversity and how it impacts all human learning
• Participants will be able to describe methods to promote neurodiverse learning and developing within the family, the education system as well as workplace settings
• Participants will be able to understand social impacts and benefits from embracing individual neurodiversity
