Abstract
As society struggles to atone for transgressions related to slavery and employs strategies to dismantle structural inequities and systemic racism, it is not surprising that efforts may inadvertently focus on the most visible diversity variables, such as race, gender, and ethnicity. However, the full spectrum of human differences must be considered in society’s aspiration to create a space where everyone can experience belonging, thrive, and achieve their full potential. In my work as a consultant, working with organizations to leverage the total capacity of exceptional talents found in diverse teams, neurodiversity is often left out of the conversation, despite data suggesting that 15% to 20% of society is neurodivergent.1,2
期刊介绍:
Holistic Nursing Practice (HNP), The Science of Health and Healing, is a peer-reviewed bimonthly journal that explores holistic models of nursing practice. Content emphasizes complementary traditional and holistic nursing and healthcare practices. Articles include theory-based interventions and their outcomes, including: innovations in holistic nursing practice; research related to holistic nursing practice, health care, and policy; and values and ethical-legal issues related to holistic nursing practices. The holistic approach is a worldview that emphasizes the potential for health and healing in human systems rather than on disease process and deficit.
