After the Diagnosis: Guiding Children Toward a Positive Neurodivergent Identity

Save the date! Registration coming soon.

Kick off Neurodiversity Celebration Week with REEL!

Child and adult psychiatrist Stacy Greeter, MD speaks from both the perspective of receiving a diagnosis of autism and ADHD herself and her ongoing clinical experience delivering new diagnoses of autism and ADHD to patients and their families. She offers practical strategies for explaining a diagnosis to children, as well as the need for medication.  We will explore how to cultivate a healthy neurodivergent identity post-diagnosis with family discussion questions and relatable fantasy characters.  A strength-based and neurodivergent-affirming model promotes positive self-identity, hope for the future, and self-compassion for children and their families.
