Are your social skills practices keeping up with the needs of neurodiverse students?

  • Why traditional practices can be harmful
  • How to pivot to practices that prioritize empowerment and choice
  • Practical tools to foster self-awareness without judgment
  • Key concepts like masking and the double empathy problem

Plus, we’ll share real-world examples and research-backed insights to help you build trust and connection with your students.
