The Passion Hub in Malaysia has achieved a significant milestone by becoming the organization with the highest number of licensed SPELL users. This achievement is a result of training 28 staff in the SPELL approach, demonstrating a strong commitment to understanding and supporting neurodiversity. This workshop focused on neuro-affirmative practices, aiming to prevent social masking and promote the well-being of neurodivergent individuals.
