Join our next fireside chat with Dr. Vivien Yang ’02 as she delves into the fascinating world of child developmental psychology. Discover how cognition, social interactions, language acquisition, and intellectual curiosity shape the diverse journeys of our minds. Dr. Yang will explore the shift in understanding neurological differences like ADHD, autism, and dyslexia — from traditional deficit-focused models, which view these as problems to be fixed, to recognizing them as natural variations of the human brain. Learn how neurological differences arise, how to identify them, and how practical strategies to embrace neurodiversity can improve outcomes for children from early childhood through young adulthood.
