ABOUT
You may have heard of neurodiversity, neurodivergence and/or neurodiversity affirming practice, but perhaps you are unsure about what these terms mean?
The neurodiversity paradigm has changed the way autism is viewed, and autistic people are supported. The recently released Autism CRC National Guidelines, further highlight the importance of neurodiversity affirming supports for autistic people.
In this session we will explore the concept of neurodiversity and help participants understand more clearly, what it is. We will also highlight how neurodiversity-affirming practices in a range of settings including the home, school, workplace and the wider community can increase the quality of life for autistic people.
Topics to be covered will include:
- What is neurodiversity?
- Key concepts underpinning neurodiverse-affirming practice.
- Examples of neurodiverse-affirming practice that will increase understanding of, and support for, autistic people.
Suitable for Queensland teacher CPD Annual Requirements, Australian Professional Standards for Teaching 1, 3, & 4.
OUR SESSIONS:
- Are practical and easy to understand.
- Have limited numbers to allow for participant interaction and engagement.
- Allow you to ask questions and develop strategies to help you and your family.
