Specifically, we are going to be doing professional development for teachers, therapists on helping them deal with NDs, all flavors, obviously. So all of the flavors of ND, but what are some of the things that we're definitely going to do? Because I know you've got some really special things that you're going to teach.
So we're all going to work on, uh, de-escalation techniques, and we're going to put you in role-playing scenarios because role-playing scenarios are safe. And as an AuDHD, This is where a lot of autistic people learn how to do stuff, and it could be by watching a movie or reading a book, but seeing these situations play out, that's how they internalize a script of actions. So we're going to role-play a little bit for de-escalation techniques from parenting scenarios, from coworker scenarios, to all the scenarios we can think of. It's fun.
