There is a social justice movement that is occurring about the importance of being identified as neuro-divergent. In this training we review the definitions of neurodiversity and neurodivergence and discuss its connection to social justice and neurodevelopmental disorders. We will review the diagnostic criteria and assessment processes for neurodevelopmental disorders. Finally, we will discuss ways to adapt our practices to better serve all our clients.

3 CEs for SW, C, Psych, RN and LPN

Connection: To ensure CIP COE provides top quality training and learning experiences, all participants must have their cameras on for the entire training event to attend and receive credit. The attendance and participation expectations are the same for virtual and in-person training events: no multitasking, follow along, engage, and participate in discussions and other activities, no traveling in a car or attending concurrent meetings.

Note: If you join the training without your camera on, you will be removed and need to reschedule.

1. Bandwidth issues: inform your agency and make plans to access a connection that is conducive for camera-on, engaged learning.

2. Chromebook or similar devices generally complicate your connection. You will not be able to obtain chat information etc.; you will need alternative options.

3. Phoning in with audio (no video) cannot verify attendance, you will be removed from the training and unable to ear credits.
