Remote Only Event
In this training, we aim to raise your awareness of
neurodiversity and provide language and context to neurodivergent experiences.
Including discussions about the difference between “neurodiverse” and
“neurodivergent,” the Social Models of Disability vs. the Medical Model of
Disability, and a brief overview of some of the traits you may see in
neurodivergent individuals. After we set you up with a common frame of
reference, we will shift to discussing how neurodivergencies within mediation
participants may impact mediations and some accommodations that may be helpful.
Finally, we will finish with a discussion about neurodivergencies within
mediators and how recruiting more
people with neurodivergencies to become Qualified Neutrals can play
a role in the ongoing diversity, equity, and inclusion discussions surrounding conflict
resolution.
