Understanding the Autistic Neurotype: Embracing Neuroaffirming Language (Webinar)

This 65-minute recorded webinar, Understanding the Autistic Neurotype: Embracing Neuroaffirming Language, invites therapists, educators, and other professionals to rethink what it truly means to be Autistic. With a focus on moving away from the deficit-based medical model, this webinar delves into the heart of the neurodiversity paradigm, offering fresh insights and practical strategies for reframing your language and practice.

What You’ll Learn:
• A deeper understanding of the Autism neurotype, exploring its complexities, strengths, and unique ways of experiencing the world.
• How the medical model has shaped perceptions of autism—and why it’s time to embrace a neuroaffirming approach.
• Practical ways to reframe language, shifting from deficit-focused terminology to words that empower, validate, and celebrate the autistic experience.

Why This Webinar Matters:
The words we use and the frameworks we adopt have a profound impact on the individuals we support. By embracing neuroaffirming language, we can promote a deeper sense of belonging, dignity, and authenticity for Autistic clients and children.
