Neurodiversity Research Collective: Workshop
University of SunderlandSunderland, United Kingdom
Course overview
This is an interactive workshop led by neurodivergent academics. The workshop aims to share knowledge of concepts such as neurodiversity, neurodivergent, and neurotypical. We support practitioners to better understand differences in practice and management styles that can empower all people.
This is achieved through a mix of presentations, research, group tasks, personal testimonies, and application to practice environments. The workshop takes a positive approach in which difference is valued and normalised following universal design principles. We come from the perspective that if spaces are neuro-affirmative then everyone can flourish.
