Jenna is a graduate of the Mass Families Leadership Series and completed advocacy training with both Wrightslaw and Parent Consultant Training Institute of the FCSN. Jenna did not receive her autism diagnosis until much later in life and in turn\, facilitates groups for women who are new to their diagnosis. \nAUDIENCE: This webinar is intended for parents of children\, teens\, and young adults who are attending K-12 schools. Teens 14 years and older who are interested in participating in the IEP/504 transition process may also attend.  Other adult family members\, educators\, and professionals who work with autistic individuals may also benefit from this webinar. \nWHEN: Wednesday\, August 17\, 2022 \nTIME: 7:00 PM – 8:30 PM ET – This webinar will be recorded. If you are not available during the live presentation\, registrants will receive the video link to access the recording of the presentation two business days after the session ends.

SUMMARY:Diversity You Cannot See
DESCRIPTION:Did you know today an estimated 40% of people deal with autistic\, attention deficit\, anxiety\, and/or dyslexic disorders? Combined\, these mental differences account for the bulk of what sociologists refer to as “neurodiversity\,” or natural variations in everyone’s brain\, particularly those who have outlying characteristics\, such as autism. \nIn this special one-hour web event\, 30-year veteran Cynthia Coupé will share her own experience as a neurodiversity expert and mother of an autistic daughter\, as well as industry insights and perspectives from three other neurodivergent proponents: one working professionally in the tech industry\, a grad student “on the spectrum\,” and one neurodiversity staffing executive. Register here. \nTogether\, they’ll discuss how neurotypical people can better interact with this intelligent and unique population\, where communication breakdowns usually happen\, and what the future holds for this often misunderstood but increasingly important talent pool. They’ll also explore how societal awareness\, appreciation\, and participation with neurodivergent people can have a big impact on the way we work\, learn\, and commune with one another. \n“Neurodiversity is the new normal\,” Coupé says. “Even though it’s less stigmatized today\, many people still don’t know how to navigate it\, even though we all interact with it regularly (whether we realize it or not). To build safe spaces where everyone can grow\, collaborate\, and work in the way that plays to our strengths\, this panel will lead the discussion on how we can better understand ourselves and each other.” \n“Diversity You Cannot See” is presented by Making Our Strong Community Stronger and is freely available to anyone in the world on July 27\, 2022 at 12 pm Eastern Time. A Q&A “town hall” session will follow at the same time on July 28. Replays will be available after each live event. We hope you will attend this important event.
