Join Anna Kennedy on this enlightening episode exploring autism awareness and neurodiversity in the workplace with Professor Samuel J. Levine from New York’s Touro Law Center. Anna shares valuable resources including insights from the SCN Special Educational Needs magazine and discusses the National Theatre’s groundbreaking work in creating sensory-adapted and dementia-friendly performances, making arts more accessible for neurodiverse audiences. Professor Levine brings a unique dual perspective as both a legal expert and autism advocate, sharing his journey from prosecutor to disability rights champion. The conversation delves into the stark differences between autism diagnosis processes in the US versus UK, where families face 2-5 year waiting periods, and explores the complex navigation systems parents must master to secure proper educational support for their children.
