Provides a comprehensive and multifaceted exploration of professional preparation programs focused on neurodiversity. By incorporating disability studies, neurodiversity, and diversity, equity, and inclusion perspectives, the book offers a conceptual framework that empowers professionals across various disciplines.
In today's world, where an estimated 1 in every 100 children is diagnosed with autism, there remains a significant shortage of highly qualified professionals equipped to support individuals with autism and other neurodiverse conditions. The lack of consistent and interdisciplinary professional preparation programs further compounds the challenges faced by these individuals, hindering their access to quality care and support. As a result, neurodiversity remains inadequately addressed, and individuals with autism often struggle to reach their full potential due to a lack of specialized knowledge and holistic support. To address this pressing issue, Autism, Neurodiversity, and Equity in Professional Preparation Programs offers a transformative solution. Compiled and edited by Shanna Jamanis and Dawn Vogler-Elias, this book provides a comprehensive and multifaceted exploration of professional preparation programs focused on neurodiversity. By incorporating disability studies, neurodiversity, and diversity, equity, and inclusion perspectives, the book offers a conceptual framework that empowers professionals across various disciplines. The book's interdisciplinary approach is designed to equip professionals and students alike, spanning fields such as education, speech-language pathology, occupational therapy, nursing, social work, and creative arts therapy, among others. With its diverse range of chapters featuring case studies, instructional activities, and program descriptions, readers gain valuable insights and practical tools for supporting neurodiversity effectively. The editors' dedication to including multiple perspectives ensures a nuanced understanding of neurodiversity support, fostering empathy, and elevating the standard of care. Autism, Neurodiversity, and Equity in Professional Preparation Programs, Shanna Jamanis, and Dawn Vogler-Elias present a much-needed resource to address the global challenge of supporting individuals with autism and neurodiversity. By promoting interdisciplinary knowledge and evidence-based practices, this book not only addresses the shortage of qualified professionals but also advocates for a more inclusive and compassionate world. For academics, scholars, and practitioners across various disciplines, this book serves as a vital steppingstone toward creating more equitable and empowering environments for individuals with autism and neurodiversity.
