SUMMARY:Neurodiversity-Affirming Care
DESCRIPTION:Date: Sep 26\, 2025\nTime: 10:00am-1:00pm and 2:00pm-5:00pm (PST)\nCEU: 6 hours\nLocation: Virtual – Zoom session\nCost: $180 \nRegistration Link \n  \nAudience: \nThis course is ideal for social workers and other professionals in healthcare and human services. \nDescription: \nNeurodiversity-affirming care is not only about individual interactions; it is also a form of cultural competence embedded within professional practice. To be neurodiversity- and neurodivergent-affirming is to acknowledge that all brain types\, including those that are different to what society considers the norm\, are equal in value and valid in their right to exist without conforming. This means valuing an individual’s strengths\, understanding and accommodating their challenges\, and accepting differences in social interaction\, communication\, behaviour\, and learning. \nThis 1-day course is designed to provide a comprehensive introduction to a neuro-affirming practice framework and tools for integrating its principles when working with individuals\, families\, and groups. The course will balance theoretical learning with interactive discussions\, case scenarios\, and guided practice. \nParticipants will learn about neuro-affirming care\, including the neurodiversity movement; neurodivergent diversity; neurodivergence and gender; neurodivergence across the lifespan; neuronormativity and systemic ableism; domains of experience; masking/camouflaging; neurodivergence and mental health; and neurodivergent-affirming communication. This learning will then be applied through guided practice activities and debriefing. \nThis course is the first of a three-part series on neurodiversity-affirming care\, and a recommended pre-requisite for the following two courses. In the event that a future certificate program in neurodiversity-affirming care is developed\, these courses will count toward the required hours for the completion of that program.
