What People Are Saying:

THANKYOU I have been looking for some ND support and this is exactly what I needed! I am returning to OT practice after a break and my perspective has totally shifted.

An OT participant

I loved the content! It validated what I am currently doing in my practice and extended me to develop my goal setting and report writing to reflect that I am a neurodiverse affirming clinician. I have always written deficit-based reports because I thought that I would not be able to get funding through the NDIS, this has challenged me to be more neurodiverse affirming when report writing while asking for the support needs required. Thank you! As a neurodivergent person I loved the accessibility of the transcript, ability to adjust listening speed etc.

A Neurodivergent Therapist Participant

This is a nuanced topic and the Speaker's lived experience makes every word she utters all the more valid and important. I appreciate the perspectives as well as the current literature that supports each statement.

A fabulous participant
