Whose “support” is it anyway?: A critical look at supportive environments

Abstract

Creating environments that are accessible to and supportive of neurodivergent people is a crucial part of neurodiversity principles in action. But what does ‘support’ mean in the context of neurodiversity? What are we supporting people towards – and for whose benefit? In this talk, Holly will challenge the ways in which we define ‘support’, and encourage outside-the-box thinking about what supporting neurodivergence can and should mean. (Invited speaker.)
