Understanding neurodiversity in communication and social abilities in children with intellectual disabilities
Free lunchtime webinar: Wednesday 14 May, 12.30pm - 2pm
For parents, carers and professionals that support families
People with intellectual disabilities are an incredibly diverse group, each with their own strengths and challenges in communication and social abilities, which can either support their wellbeing and community participation or create barriers that limit their opportunities. However, this diversity is not always fully recognised, leading to missed opportunities to build on a person’s strengths and provide targeted support where it is needed most. In this webinar, we will explore how a neurodiversity approach may help us better understand and support communication and social skills in children with intellectual disabilities.
