Leader's notes

Diversity is expressed in various ways, including but not limited to physical, emotional, cognitive, and developmental abilities; race and ethnicity; national origin; culture; socioeconomic status; gender; sexual orientation; age; and religion.

In this presentation, we will define neurodivergence and explore common challenges that neurodivergent individuals face when participating in outdoor activities. We will discuss practical strategies for engaging all individuals in a group, ensuring that everyone feels seen and heard as we lead by example.

Seminar Notes

This presentation will encourage attendees to speak up throughout the presentation and be interactive with prompting discussion questions interspersed within lecture segments.
