Being neurodivergent means having a brain that works differently from the average or “neurotypical” person. This may be differences in social preferences\, ways of learning\, ways of communicating and/or ways of perceiving the environment. Because of this\, a neurodivergent person has different struggles and unique strengths.” (Cleveland Clinic\, June 6\, 2022.) Neurodivergent school age children are often diagnosed with ADHA\, autism\, dyslexia and other conditions. They might talk about a narrow range of topics\, have difficulty expressing their feelings or understanding how others feel\, seem uninterested in starting a conversation\, and have difficulty noticing social cues. They often possess unique strengths\, exceptional memory\, creative problem-solving\, and in-depth expertise in their specialized interests. They frequently demonstrate innovative thinking\, pattern recognition\, high energy\, and a strong sense of justice or honesty. When educators learn more about Neurodiversity\, they can help all of their students develop their strengths and live happy and healthy lives. Eligible for 3 hours CTLE credit. If district pays\, district approval must be confirmed prior to start of session.\nFlyer: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1WbJNe8uOMVgDKKr6jpX9hzY19wYUB31h/view?usp=sharing\nRegistration: https://www.mylearningplan.com/WebReg/ActivityProfile.asp?D=13208&I=5406239 URL:/event/neurodivergent-learners-what-educators-need-to-know-to-help-them-thrive-virtual-3-hour-workshop-facilitated-by-joan-fretz-830-1130am-2/ LOCATION:Virtual Conference CATEGORIES:Instructional Support Services Full Calendar END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
