This information session is designed for student affairs and all university staff who are interested in learning more about neurodiversity. In this session, Specialisterne Canada will unpack the concepts of disability and neurodiversity, and introduce attendees to the different diagnoses or identities that fall under the umbrella of neurodiversity. Participants will develop an understanding of how to navigate language and labels related to disability and neurodiversity, learn concrete steps and strategies to support neurodivergent students and create a neuro-inclusive learning environment that sets students up for success.
