Description
Staff from the Ohio State University Employee Assistance Program will provide an overview of neurodivergence.
After attending this session participants will be able to:
• Describe what neurodivergence is and why it exists.
• Recognize the diversity of experiences and identities within the neurodivergent community.
• Value the unique gifts, abilities, and skills neurodivergent people possess because of their experiences living in a society primarily designed for neurotypical brains.
• Better understand and engage with neurodivergent people in a variety of contexts.
• Function as an ally to neurodivergent people by countering misinformation with facts and responding to microaggressions as an active bystander.
