An Exploration of Neurodiversity and Neurodivergent Identities

This workshop is aimed at validating and supporting students who make up roughly 20 percent of the population, but often fly under the radar or are left out of diversity conversations: students with disabilities.

Through an overview of the highlights of neurodiversity, students will gain an appreciation of brain differences, as well as of the benefits of those who identify as neurodivergent and/or as a person with a disability. This will be balanced with the concept of each of us appreciating our own “fingerprint of the brain.” Content will cover a combination of theory and real-world connection, followed by a guided activity that benefits and supports all people in their professional and personal lives—and that can be practiced long after the workshop ends.
