The Neurodiversity Initiative at Northeastern University’s College of Engineering has developed a comprehensive professional development program designed to foster inclusive environments for neurodiverse individuals in educational and workplace settings. This flexible training framework addresses critical knowledge gaps through four core modules: foundational neurodiversity concepts, strength-based approaches, universal design principles, and workplace integration strategies. The curriculum reframes neurodivergent traits as natural human variations rather than deficits, while providing practical skills for creating inclusive environments and addressing common misconceptions.
This professional development represents a scalable model for promoting neurodiversity inclusion across multiple environments, ultimately supporting improved employment outcomes and creating more equitable spaces for all individuals.
This session offers 2 CEUs for NASW, LICSW, LDAC, LMHC and Nursing.
