Event type: Single day (a day or less)

The COVID-19 pandemic has emphasized social inequity and has caused certain groups to feel the impact of the virus more severely than others. While many groups have had the privilege to access affordable healthcare, safe housing, adequate financial resources; and the option to work remotely, to manage the pandemic, such privilege has been denied to others.

Register to join this free webinar exploring the range of psycho-social challenges and demands placed on individuals, families and communities by COVID-19.

Speakers will provide insight for parents (particularly of neuro-diverse children) on instructional and pedagogical approaches that help children to adjust to home-schooling and the loss of social connections. In addition, this webinar is designed to hear from voices of the neurodivese community, who may be especially vulnerable at this time. For more information, view the webinar flyer.
