Mentor Learning Series: All Brains Welcome: Neurodiversity & Mentoring

Has your mentoring program ever served a child whose brain just worked differently? Born out of the autism rights movement, neurodiversity is the reframing of diagnoses that have stigmatized youth and made it unnecessarily difficult for them to succeed. Join this session to learn more on how you can make your spaces inclusive for neurodiverse young people.

This training will be facilitated by Renee Angelo-Mauk, a SHRM-CP, PMQ Master Trainer of Mentoring Practices Trainer for Youth Work Methods Series\ Trainer for Youth Work Methods Series (David P. Weikart Center for Youth Program Quality).

Session Outcomes are:

1. Attendees will gain vocabulary needed to speak about neurodiversity in an inclusive way
2. Attendees will have opportunity to check themselves for ableism and bias against neurodiversity
