Incorporating content on: the neuroscience of neurodiversity; its origins in a sociological framework; social movements relating to neurodiversity; strategies to support students and research informing student accomodations /assistance protocols in higher education. Inclusivity within the workplace and how best to embed this in practice will be explored in detail.
