NADD 35th Annual Conference & Exhibit Show
Dancing in the Rain: Embracing Life Through the Prism of Neurodiversity
October 31-Nov 2, 2018 Seattle, WA
This year’s program addresses the challenges of individuals with IDD and mental health needs viewed through the lens of neurodiversity, a term used since the 1990’s to describe neurological variation, such as autism, ADHD, dyslexia, intellectual disabilities, and some mental health disabilities. The neurodiversity movement frames neurological variation as a natural part of the human experience and an authentic form of human diversity. Rather than framing cognitive disabilities as pathologies in need of ‘cure,’ the neurodiversity movement focuses on accommodation, inclusion, civil rights, and support.
