How to introduce neurodiversity affirming practices to others

Written By Lia Douglas

Here are some great tips I have collected and adapted for sharing and introducing neurodiversity affirming practices to teachers, grandparents, caregiver’s, or anyone whom spends time with your child. I hope you find this helpful! Some of these tips I got from Dr. Lisa Marnell, Occupational Therapist and she also has FREE handouts to provide to teachers on her website www.KidsMasterSkills.com.
