A panel discussion, held on October 28, to explore the impact of the rollbacks in diversity, equity, and inclusive initiatives, as well as curriculum bans on education.

A hybrid presentation hosted by AAUW Stanwood Camano. Presented by Lei Wiley-Mydske, coordinator of the Ed Wiley Autism Acceptance Library. Neurodiversity describes the idea that people experience and interact with the world around them in many different ways; there is no one “right” way of thinking, learning, and behaving, and differences are not viewed as deficits.
