Watch Party: The Neurodiversity Affirming Model® and Caring for Neurodivergent Clients

Watch Parties are a dedicated time where we can gather and watch one of the recordings from a past webinar together. WIDIC members will have the opportunity to vote on what to watch every month! There will be additional time at the end blocked off for discussion and peer support.

Access to Watch Parties is available to all WIDIC members and anyone who has previously registered for the webinar, or purchased the recording. Watch Parties are not recorded.

For our September Watch Party, we are watching The Neurodiversity Affirming Model® and Caring for Neurodivergent Clients, originally presented by Naureen Hunani, RD before it expires and is removed from our Webinar Library!

Mainstream nutrition and feeding modalities often promote neuronormative ideals around food, and exclude the experiences of neurodivergent (ND) people. Because ND folks can have different experiences with food and eating, modalities that don’t centre neurodivergence and the unique needs of this population can feel invalidating and cause harm. Strength and acceptance-based approaches are needed to support ND people access adequate nourishment and develop a positive relationship with food and their bodyminds.

This 60-minute webinar, presented by RDs for Neurodiversity founder Naureen Hunani, RD, will introduce the Neurodiversity Affirming Model® and its five pillars, which can be utilized to build an affirming practice. Clinicians will leave with practical tools to support and care for their neurodivergent clients.
