The term neurodivergent was coined in the 1990s by Australian sociologist Judy Singer. The movement has spread significantly, influencing the way children, parents, and educators look at disability. We will engage with the model, compare it to a medical model of disability, and discover new approaches to helping students use their strengths to improve academic outcomes. As Mr. Rogers said, “I like you just the way you are.” Register as soon as possible to secure your seat and to receive reminder emails with Zoom logistics!
