This session looks at the organizational and programmatic shifts that create real belonging for all youth and staff. It explores how everyday practices\, policies\, and physical spaces shape whether people who are neurodivergent feel included or overlooked. Participants leave with a broader perspective on building a culture where neurodivergence is expected and welcomed\, along with ideas they can adapt to their own programs. \nOne and a half Continuing Education Units (CEUs) will be available for participants with social work and professional counseling licenses (LSW\, LCSW\, LPC\, LCPC).

Rather than framing accessibility as a compliance obligation\, the session invites participants to see inclusion as an act of welcome\, asking not whether a space meets a minimum standard but who is being invited in\, and whether they can actually get through the door. Participants explore how disability intersects with neurodiversity\, invisible disability\, and mental health. Activities include a guided self-assessment of participants’ own environments and facilitated peer discussion. \nOne and a half Continuing Education Units (CEUs) will be available for participants with social work and professional counseling licenses (LSW\, LCSW\, LPC\, LCPC). If you would like to request CEUs\, you may do so in the evaluation survey sent after completing this training.
