For healthcare
Until recently, neurodivergence has been largely looked at under the medical model of disability, where it is seen as a problem rather than a naturally occurring difference in the brain, requiring no '‘fix”.
This way of thinking, our own assumptions, and ineffective communication can make it difficult for health providers to understand the needs of their patients, leading to poorer physical, social, emotional and mental health outcomes.
Our targeted professional development sessions give healthcare professionals a greater understanding of the barriers that neurodivergent patients face, when seeking healthcare services. You will learn affirming accommodations and practices that you can easily implement in your clinic now.
With an increased understanding of affirming practice, you can provide a higher standard of care and establish stronger relationships with your clients and their families.
Our PD content is in line with current evidence and is created in close consultation with neurodivergent people.
