We were recommended to the Equity and Human Rights Officer in HEU’s Education and Human Rights Department by another HEU employee. The Equity and Human Rights Officer was one of the organizers of the Equity Conference, in Spring of this year, and had the opportunity to sit in on LET’S’ workshop. They thought the workshop we delivered was great (always nice to hear).
HEU was seeking a sort of Intro
to Queer Issues 101. The
workshop was for allies only –
not for people who belong to
the 2SLGBTQIA+ community.
The audience was eager to
learn and active in the
conversations. This was an in
person workshop so we brought along our collection of stim toys. The participants really enjoyed the stim toys, some
saying they were able to concentrate or focus better than they’d ever previously experienced. So while our workshops was on Queer issues, we also did some education about neurodivergence and regulating emotions through the use of stim toys.
