Celebrating neurodiversity across the lifespan: What every pediatric OT needs to know

Liz Green, OTR/L has 23 years of experience as an occupational therapist (OT) in a variety of clinical settings. Her passion is to empower neurodistinct individuals in meeting self-directed goals that promote meaningful participation in work, school and life. She also has a certificate in DEI for HR through Cornell University. By combining advanced expertise as an OT with an HR concentration in DEI, Liz has created the first ever neurodiversity consultancy model focused on installation of adapted Universal Design for Learning (UDL) principles across the employee life-cycle that do not hinge on disclosure.  She has spoken at regional and national conferences, including Society for HR Managers (SHRM), Occupational Therapy Association of Colorado (OTAC) and College Autism Network (CAN). She is also heavily involved in neurodiversity education in the cybersecurity space, including institutions/groups such as National Initiative for Cybersecurity Education (NICE) Community Coordinating Council, Sunshine Cybersecurity Conference, Women in Cybersecurity (WiCyS), Cybersecurity Skills Journal, CompTIA, SANS, and Cyber Guild.
