***Past event: Registration Closed***
This interactive webinar (***registration is now closed***) will focus on practical, neurodiversity-affirming approaches in medical settings that are both cost-effective and time-efficient. Join four autistic members from the Autism Intervention Research Network on Physical Health (AIR-P) Autistic and Neurodivergent Scholars Working for Equity in Research (ANSWER) as they share their personal experiences with medical care.
They will highlight the profound impacts of neuro-affirming and non-neuro-affirming practices they encountered, providing valuable insights for clinicians. Participants will also engage in brainstorming sessions to develop additional simple yet impactful neurodiversity-affirming strategies that could be applied in similar situations in the future.
Topics will include:
- Understanding neurodiversity and its impact on practice.
- Key principles of neurodiversity-affirming approaches.
- Practical strategies for implementing these approaches in your clinical or research practice.
- Why embracing neurodiversity is vital for inclusive care.
- Real-life examples from autistic individuals and how cost-effective neurodiversity practices can be.
