Here is a video recording of the presentation.
On March 16 AASCEND presents, online via Zoom, the newly-released book Neurodiversity for Dummies, with authors John Marble, Khushboo Chabria and Ranga Jayaraman. Neurodiversity For Dummies is a guide to understanding neurodivergent conditions like autism, ADHD, dyslexia, and more. The book is intended for the neurodivergent person and for parents, caregivers and professionals seeking success for a neurodivergent person. The book is also designed as an aid to service providers, workplace managers and colleagues, and to family members and friends. At the meeting the authors will give a tour of the book, describe how the book came to be, and respond to your questions about it!
John Marble is the multiply neurodivergent founder of Pivot Neurodiversity, an organization empowering companies to modernize recruitment, hiring, and culture to better support neurodivergent employees. He is also a classroom instructor and training partner with Neurodiversity Pathways. Khushboo Chabria, motivated in part by her own ADHD, is a neurodiversity specialist working with the Neurodiversity Pathways program of Goodwill of Silicon Valley. Ranga Jayaraman is the Director of Neurodiversity Pathways program of Goodwill of Silicon Valley in San Jose, California, USA. He is a neurotypical father of a neurodivergent son.
