Neurodiversity 101 offers you a look at what neurodiversity is. We will give definitions, discuss language, talk about different models of neurodiversity and the neurodiversity paradigm and discuss what conditions fall under the umbrella of neurodiversity, with an in-depth look into Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Autism, Developmental Language Disorders (DLDs), Sensory Processing Disorders (SPDs) and Mental Health conditions. We will also touch on some moments throughout history that informed how we look at neurodiversity today.
This workshop is a level one course and pairs well with our Neurodiversity 102 class, which covers action items on how to be less ableist in your thinking and how to offer more accessibility to people who are neurodivergent. We offer insight into why we should all create a more equitable world for everyone, what sort of barriers
exist for people who are neurodivergent and how to re-think what we label “bad behaviour”.
All of CAN/LET’S’s neurodiversity workshops are created, researched
and facilitated by neurodivergent people. Their lived expertise is vital to properly representing neurodiversity.
