Disability Spotlight Podcast
Neurodivergence and Neuroaffirming Practice - Part 2
In part two of the Disability Spotlight Podcast mini-series on Neurodivergence and Neuroaffirming Practices, Bec Sampson, Chloe Garret, and Rebecca McNeil delve into the significance of neuroaffirming approaches, particularly the differences between the medical and social models of disability. The conversation highlights a shift toward recognising neurodivergence as both an internal and external experience, advocating for a more inclusive and affirming paradigm.
The episode also focuses on how professionals, especially speech pathologists and physiotherapists, are moving away from outdated methods to embrace strengths-based, client-centred care. By involving clients in goal-setting from an early age, these practitioners ensure interventions are tailored to the unique needs and strengths of each individual. Listeners are encouraged to rethink traditional practices and partner closely with families, promoting wellbeing.
