Neurodiversity-Affirming Occupational Therapy: Empowering Approaches to Foster Neurodivergent Participation
Author: Bryden Carlson-Giving

This community-driven resource is a timely collaboration amongst justice-focused leaders, equipping OT professionals with the tools to foster neurodiversity-affirming practice. Drawn from lived experience, professional expertise, and justice-oriented frameworks, this is both a practical guide and a visionary blueprint for dismantling ableism in OT practice.
The first half of the book explores essential foundations such as neurodiversity, ableism, disability justice, trauma-informed care, antiracism, and strengths-based approaches. The second half offers practical strategies for embedding affirming principles throughout the OT process, including evaluation, intervention, research, and education.
Supplemented with over 100 pages of digital content including a bonus chapter of case studies, a resource on how to support Neurodivergent students in higher education and more, this book is a roadmap for transforming OT into a more equitable profession that celebrates neurodivergent ways of life.
