The Language of Neurodiversity


Saturday, July 10, 2021 at 10:30 AM - 12 PM EDT

For many people (specialists and teachers included), the jargon and Vocabulary of neurodiversity can be a bit overwhelming!

Plus, new words are being created every day it seems.

And for the terms and frameworks that are already out there, a lot of the definitions provided are PRETTY ableist...or they just don't make sense.

As part of Ben-Oni's masters work in Autism Spectrum Disorders and their continued research on neurodiversity, the taxonomy of language has been a "special interest."

This is a 4 part lecture that covers over 125 terms and frameworks within the Neurodiveresity and Dis/ability world.
