About This Event
Join us for a candid and thought-provoking discussion on neurodiversity and its impact within the CSD field. This session will explore the challenges students and professionals face when advocating for neurodiverse individuals, as well as for themselves, in academic and clinical environments.
Attendees will gain:
- A deeper understanding of current neurodiversity topics.
- Insights into the issues that CSD professionals and students face when advocating for themselves and individuals with neurodiversity.
- Practical strategies to implement neurodiversity-affirming practices in graduate school and beyond.
Be part of a conversation that empowers you to foster inclusivity and deepens your understanding of how to support others—and yourself— through neurodiversity-affirming practices and advocacy.
