Upcoming Events
Supporting Healthcare Access for Youth with Neurodevelopmental Disabilities Webinar
2:00 PM - 3:00 PM ET
Youth with neurodevelopmental disabilities (NDDs) face significant obstacles accessing health care, contributing to long-term health disparities. This webinar will describe the first peer-reviewed consensus statement establishing a standard of care in healthcare settings for youth with NDDs, and explore lived experiences and recommendations for implementation from professionals and advocates.
AIR-P Presents: Freaking out and shutting down in autism: From Neuroscience to Narrative
4:00pm ET - 5:00pm ET
Dr. Greg Siegle, from the University of Pittsburgh, will present a neuroscience-based framework for understanding reactions to emotional and sensory stimuli in autism that can seem very strong or almost absent, and how the same individuals may vary from one to the other type of reactivity. To support this framework, Dr. Siegle will work to integrate individuals’ neuroimaging data and their narratives, which autistic participants have said they want to have heard and understood by others. Dr. Siegle will relate these data to outcomes in a neuroimaging clinical trial of technologies to address dissociation.
