This session will introduce a neurodiversity-affirming framework for pediatric occupational therapy practice. Participants will explore how this lens influences interpretation of regulation, participation, and environmental fit, and how it shapes clinical decision-making and goal development across pediatric settings. A clinical case example will illustrate application in practice.
Participants will be able to:
- Define key terms within the neurodiversity paradigm, including neurodiversity, neurotypical, neurodivergent, neuro-affirming, and neuro-normative.
- Identify at least two ways a neurodiversity-affirming approach influences clinical decision-making in pediatric occupational therapy.
- Reframe a pediatric occupational therapy goal using a neurodiversity-affirming lens.
Fee Free. Exclusive for OTAC members only.
