The Certificate in Neurodiversity for Educators & Professionals is a micro-credential designed for current and future education and clinical professionals who want to better support neurodivergent learners in inclusive, affirming, and evidence-based ways. Whether you're a classroom teacher, special education professional, speech pathologist, occupational therapist, teaching assistant, counselor, or paraprofessional, this program offers accessible, high-impact training—no prior experience with neurodiversity required.

• The eight-month, non-credit program begins March 9, 2026.
• An accelerated, two-month summer program is also available.
• The program consists of six courses: three core courses, your choice of two electives, and a capstone practicum or applied project.
• Courses are fully-online, asynchronous with self-paced coursework. There will be optional opportunities to engage with instructors and other learners through office hours, chat rooms, and collaborative time.

Re-licensure credit for LCSWs, LMFTs, LPCCs, and LEPs is available through the Chico State School of Social Work, and educators may purchase professional development credits.
