Workshop Description: As an educator whose role is to provide those with exceptional needs additional support and services under special education eligibility, there is no one who should embrace a neurodiversity affirming lens more than a school psychologist! Our expertise, training, and responsibilities align directly with the mindset of accepting and embracing the uniqueness of each and every brain. You will leave this presentation with the background and understanding of how to apply a neurodiversity affirming lens throughout the entire assessment process.
