Understanding and Supporting Neurodivergent Students 12/10/2026
1:00 pm - 3:30 pm
Fostering an authentic culture of inclusion and respect starts with recognizing neurodiversity as a natural and valuable expression of human variation. In this session, school counselors will dive into the core principles of neurodiversity, unpack the distinctive assets and challenges neurodivergent students navigate, and explore the counselor’s pivotal role in championing self‑advocacy across academic, career, and social‑emotional domains. Together, we will translate these insights into concrete, neuro‑affirming practices, aligned with the ASCA National Model®, that elevate student voice and enrich school culture for every learner.

Foundations of Neurodiversity
Curate Neuro‑Affirming Practices
Design a Neuro-Affirming Actionable Plan
