Mix lived experience with research and practice knowledge in this interactive workshop. Gain knowledge of concepts such as neurodiversity, neurodivergent, and neurotypical. Benefit from a session delivered at your location.
This is an interactive workshop led by two of our neurodivergent academics Dr Lesley Deacon and Zeta Bikova. Lesley is a qualified social worker and Zeta is a qualified educator, focusing on special educational needs.
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.
This workshop can be delivered on campus at the University of Sunderland or your location (regional only – North East and North Cumbria).
The workshop will consist of presentations, research, group tasks, personal testimonies, and application to practice environments.
