Stay Spicy: Elevating the Power of Neurodiversity

Mar 6, 2025

10:00am – 11:00am CT

This session is part of 2025 Crossover Day. Attendance is open to all SXSW EDU registrants as well as all SXSW registrants. As always, SXSW strongly believes in the power of mixing creative communities.

At least 1 in 5 individuals are neurodivergent. How can we use insights from lived experiences to better support neurodivergent women and girls and understand their needs? How can we help shine a light on the strengths and benefits that neurodivergent individuals bring to classrooms and workplaces? This panel conversation brings together student, educator, researcher, and edtech voices to dig into answering these questions together, providing insights and take-away actions that can be put into practice for educators, leaders, professionals, and friends living and working with neurodiversity.
