This LN/KH Webinar explores the intersections of neurodivergence, disability, and gender-based violence through critical disability studies, story-making, and neurodiversity-affirming approaches. Presented by Dr. Patty Douglas, Associate Professor of Disability Studies at Queen’s University and a former special education teacher, this session draws  on creative and participatory approaches that centre historically excluded perspectives, inviting participants to consider how dominant narratives about disability, care, communication, and harm shape responses to violence within education, health, and community systems.

Rather than positioning neurodivergence as deficit or risk, the discussion will open space to re-imagine safety, accountability, and support in ways that affirm difference and attend to systemic and structural barriers. Participants will be encouraged to reflect on how trauma- and violence-informed, disability justice, and decolonizing approaches can inform more accessible and inclusive GBV-related practices.

Learning Objectives:

• Recognize how neurodivergent communication, sensory, and regulation differences may shape experiences and disclosures of GBV
• Identify systemic and structural barriers that neurodivergent and disabled survivors may encounter
• Reflect on dominant narratives about disability, care, and harm within GBV systems
• Consider creative, affirming, and accessibility-oriented approaches that support safety and inclusion

NOTE: This Webinar will run in French with simultaneous English and American Sign Language (ASL) interpretation. A Webinar recording will be made available after the Webinar. Register for the Webinar and receive an email when the recording is posted. See previous webinar recordings here.

Please direct all queries to the organiser: gbvln@uwo.ca.

This session focuses on patterns of family violence harm committed by people who come to the attention of Police, and will be presented by Dr. Apriel D. Jollife Simpson, a co-author of this research (alongside Dr Chaitanya Joshi, and Professor Devon Polaschek).

This research collected information about people who came to police attention for using family violence in Aotearoa New Zealand, and modelled patterns over time (whether the harmful behaviour continued or escalated). The study identifies varying probabilities of further verbal abuse and physical violence. The findings can help improve how family violence risk is conceptualised in practice
