Inclusion registers to our bodies as a survival need. It is deeply important to our sense of safety and well-being. But we live in a world that tells our neurodivergent kids over and over that they don't belong.
What would it look like to advocate for their authentic inclusion for your child in social spaces? What is the child's responsibility to change versus the culture surrounding the child needing to change? What communication skills do we need to advocate for inclusive spaces, and to help everyone rebuild after ruptures occur?
Lindsay Teitelbaum has spent her career building inclusive social spaces for her family, and for her community. If you ask Lindsay, an inclusive space is a space in which:
- Your child can express themselves freely
- Adults are willing to learn about your child
- Children are taught to learn about each other and to be inquisitive
- A culture of diversity, openness, and flexibility is cultivated
- Your family's whole team is included
In this two hour, on-demand training, you'll learn how you can co-create these spaces through modeling, relationship building, asking questions, cultivating vulnerability, advocating for your family's needs, and being deeply inquisitive.
You’ll learn how to tailor your plan in a way that is individualized to your family’s needs and values. And you’ll gain concrete tools and the confidence to take the next steps towards your child’s authentic social inclusion.
