Description
This session introduces tools and frameworks for neuroaffirming coaching. Using a strengths-based, dignity-centered approach, it explores the neurodiversity paradigm, which views neurobiological differences as aspects of human diversity—not deficits. In contrast to the pathology model, this framework emphasizes identity, agency, and supportive environments. The session addresses the importance of avoiding stereotypes, recognizing trauma, and promoting wellbeing and self-defined success. Participants will gain practical strategies for positive cross-neurotype interactions.
