Neurodiversity and Inclusion in Jewish Communities (Recording)
Presented by
Meredith Nicholson, MSPH,
National Resource Center on HIV & Aging at GMHC
The concept of neurodiversity, which originated among autistic advocates, recognizes that differences in brain function are natural variations to be embraced and celebrated. Many of us know and/or work with individuals who are autistic or otherwise neurodivergent (ex. ADHD, dyslexia, sensory processing disorder) yet they are often left out of inclusion efforts. Join us for a presentation which breaks down what Judaism has to say about disability more broadly, what neurodiversity truly means, and how your work can be inclusive of this community.
