About Us
At Moringa Institute, we are committed to advancing neurodiversity-affirming education grounded in lived experience, ethical practice, and meaningful inclusion. Guided by the core principle of the disability and neurodiversity movements—“Nothing about us without us”—we ensure that our continuing education courses are developed with direct input from neurodivergent individuals.
Our programs intentionally integrate the voices of autistic and neurodivergent people as content collaborators, consultants, and instructors, bringing first-hand insight to topics such as assessment, diagnosis, mental health, trauma-informed care, and systems navigation. This approach strengthens clinical relevance, challenges outdated deficit-based models, and supports professionals in delivering care that is respectful, evidence-based, and aligned with contemporary neurodiversity frameworks.
As an organization dedicated to high-quality professional education, Moringa Institute partners with clinicians, educators, self-advocates, and families to offer continuing education for psychologists and allied professionals that reflects real-world complexity and ethical responsibility. Our mission is to equip professionals with practical tools, critical perspectives, and authentic understanding—so services for neurodivergent and disabled people are not only effective, but genuinely inclusive.
