Value Neurodiversity!!!

02/04/2024

Autistic individuals face challenges and prejudice across various sectors, such as healthcare, education, and employment. Access to personalized support and guidance is crucial for them, along with their families and caregivers, to navigate these hurdles effectively. Furthermore, providing opportunities for autistic individuals to pursue interests, develop skills, and cultivate friendships is essential for a fulfilling life. Addressing discriminatory attitudes and behaviors that lead to unfair treatment is vital. Only through such actions can we guarantee that no one experiences discrimination.

Accept, Empower, Support, Include

Information:
Behaviours of concern (often referred to as challenging behaviour) represent a serious challenge to the quality of life, equality, and inclusion. There are many parallels with other countries, particularly the UK and the USA, in that individuals and families are frequently excluded from all forms of participation in their communities and often experience mental health treatments that are inappropriate and often harmful.

They frequently endure severely restricted and traumatic lives, on occasion sustaining severe injury or worse. This situation applies at home, at school, and across a range of health and social care settings. We argue that applying evidence-supported, trauma-informed and empathic approaches, that reflect more up-to-date theory, reduces stress in workers and greatly improves well-being. We have evidence of this, which will be presented at the event.

Inclusion and inclusive education are universal human rights!

The aim of inclusion is to embrace all people irrespective of race, gender, disability, medical or other need. It is about giving equal access and opportunities and getting rid of discrimination and intolerance through the removal of barriers.
