Deep Equity and Neurodiversity (YouTube) - Touro University California

There is no one “right” way of thinking, learning and behaving. As we continue to learn about neurodiversity and incorporate its considerations in our teaching and communication, how we do equity must be emphasized. Dr. Niki Elliott, Co-Director of the Center for Neurodiversity, Learning, and Wellness, will join us for this conversation. With over 25 years in the game, Dr. Elliot’s understanding of holistic education, educational neurobiology, social-emotional well-being and mind-body wellness practices means that she doesn’t just talk the talk, but she is doing and living out equity in her practice everyday. In this conversation, she will help us to understand how we can do the same, as we continue to explore DEEP Equity Now. - description from Youtube

It is a unique film that will generate thoughtful discussion whether in a classroom setting, work environment or at home with family members and friends. - description from Kanopy
