At UM, students with ADHD and Autism are seeking a supportive community that understands their unique needs. Recognizing the importance of fostering an inclusive environment, this session is designed to help staff members comprehend ADHD and Autism from a neurodiversity perspective and provide effective support within their respective roles.<\/p>\n
Join us in dismantling preconceptions and gaining a comprehensive understanding of ADHD and Autism. Through a nuanced exploration of lived experience, we aim to unravel the struggles of students with ADHD and Autism and their manifestation in academic settings. By embracing the neurodiversity paradigm, participants will learn to create a more inclusive and supportive environment. This session is an opportunity to broaden perspectives, challenge assumptions, and collect a first set of basic tools for effective support.<\/p>\n
