Designed to equip speech therapists with key strategies and understanding for serving neurodivergent populations, this audio course dives into foundational concepts of neurodiversity and its critical role in assessments. It also addresses how to recognize and counteract biases in standardized assessments that may lead to inaccurate outcomes and stigmatize neurodivergent individuals.
