The terms Neurodiversity and Neurodivergence are popping up all over our fields right now.  These terms relate to the variation in neurological functioning in humans the same way biodiversity relates to the variation in life on earth at the genetic, species and ecosystem level.  The neurodiversity movement asks us to recognize that there is no actual ‘normal’ way to perceive the world and appreciate that many people experience the world differently from ourselves and that is natural. In this workshop, Pam will introduce the terms and the history so we can support neurodivergent children and truly build inclusive environments.
