Creating Neurodiverse Inclusive Spaces

Understanding neurodiversity, a collection of brain differences such as autism, ADHD, dyslexia, and others that cause people to experience the world nontraditionally, is an important aspect of making our university more inclusive. Jennifer Closson, Clinical Professor, School of Speech, Language, Hearing, and Occupational Sciences, will explore challenges that people who are neurodiverse can experience, and discuss how to create welcoming, inclusive spaces in our classrooms, workplaces, and communities. There will be time for problem solving specific ideas on how to include neurodiverse people in your space.
