Practical Neurodiversity-Affirming Strategies for Student Support Teams

Описание: Supporting students’ social growth should never come at the expense of who they are. In this recorded webinar, Everyday Speech shares practical, evidence-based strategies for teaching social and communication skills through a neurodiversity-affirming lens.

You’ll learn how to support authentic interaction, personal choice, and student autonomy while still providing clear tools for navigating real-world social situations. This session focuses on teaching skills for connection, self-advocacy, and safety rather than compliance or “fixing” behavior.

In this webinar, you’ll learn how to:
• Use affirming video modeling that highlights options and preferences rather than one “correct” behavior
• Reframe social skills instruction as tools for communication and self-expression
• Support students without encouraging masking or suppressing identity
• Apply practical strategies and classroom-ready examples immediately

This webinar is designed for SLPs, special educators, counselors, social workers, and other student support professionals looking for respectful, student-centered approaches to social skills instruction.
