The panel includes a range of Durham academics, influential in their field, to contribute to a vibrant and engaging dialogue on this topic. Dr Jachyra will discuss how his research examines the psycho-social dimensions of disability, health, and well-being of neurodivergent individuals, with a particular focus on autistic people. The goal of this research is to support the physical activity, well-being, participation and inclusion of neurodivergent people in society.
