Writer Harvey Blume once said, “Neurodiversity may be just as important for the human race as biodiversity is for all life. Who can say what wiring will work best at any moment?” Exploring Neurodivergence is the first part of a five-part micro-learning series that looks into the lives of neurodiverse individuals. Neurodiversity is a non-medical term rooted in sociology and psychology that explains the natural variation in brain function and behaviors among humans. These variations in individual brain development shouldn’t be viewed as abnormalities but as natural differences within the spectrum of strengths and weaknesses.
In Exploring Neurodivergence, learners will explore the research behind the terminology, the diversity of experiences, and the context of life for those who identify as neurodivergent. Learners will be able to define neurodivergence, identify medical diagnoses related to it, and learn how they can become advocates in their communities to change attitudes, practices, and policies toward individuals who are neurodivergent.
You will receive a certificate of professional learning time after completing the learning. If continuing education or professional learning is required for licensing purposes, please reach out to your organization or institution to ensure they will accept the certificate.
