Social Communication Workshop: Neurodivergent and Neurotypical Communication
June 3 @ 5:00 pm – 6:30 pm
Communication can vastly differ between neurodivergent and neurotypical people. Without some understanding of these different communication styles, interactions can be confusing and misunderstandings can occur. But, a little knowledge can go a long way.
In this social communication workshop, participants will gain the skills and knowledge to:
- Describe how communication can differ between neurodivergent and neurotypical people
- Recognize how communication across neurotypes is a form of cross-cultural communication
- Identify their own authentic communication preferences and needs
- Evaluate the benefits and challenges of using authentic communication in different settings
- Practice expressing or requesting their communication preferences and needs
