CCC-SLP, a neurodivergent Speech-Language Pathologist and mother of three neurodivergent children. Diagnosed with ADHD, Megan uses her personal insights to foster positive self-identities in her students and promote inclusive education through her Neurodiversity-Affirming Handbook. Alongside Megan is Dani Rodwell, LCSW, a neurodivergent therapist diagnosed with ADHD and Autism. Dani's firsthand experiences with unaffirming systems of care inspired her dedication to helping other neurodivergent individuals feel seen and understood. Specializing in intersectional identities, she co-owns a nationwide practice offering neuroaffirming support. Both authors use their professional expertise and personal experiences to equip educators and professionals with effective, neurodiversity-affirming strategies. Their mission is to make a difference in the lives of neurodivergent individuals by promoting understanding, acceptance, and inclusion. ___________________________________ Copyright © AdaptEd 4 Special Ed Permission to copy for single classroom use only.
