Words matter! Neuroaffirming care starts with language, that why I am sharing this free resource about neurodiversity affirming language and terminology.
This concise 2-page digital handout provides guidance on using terminology that honours the neurodivergent voices and experiences.
Whether you’re a health professional, parent, teacher, or community member, this resource empowers you to foster understanding and acceptance through thoughtful language.
Embrace the opportunity to enhance your awareness and contribute to a more inclusive world with this accessible tool from Growing Gently Psychology.
I’m so glad you’re using this resource. Please support my work by sharing the link rather than the PDF. You’re very welcome to print and use copies, just not distribute the digital file directly.
