Neurodiversity Talk & Apéro: Dyspraxia – myths and reality in the academic world

Join Dr. Emily Meachon as she challenges long-held myths about this often undiagnosed condition and shares practical insights on how we can better support those affected.

Dyspraxia (or Developmental Coordination Disorder) affects around 1 in 20 people yet often goes unrecognized. Far beyond the outdated label of “clumsy,” it influences how individuals move, write, balance, and interact with the world. Many have gone undiagnosed due to past misunderstandings, but growing research is changing that narrative. Join Dr. Emily Meachon as she challenges long-held myths and shares practical insights on how we can better support those affected across our university community.

After an input of 30 minutes, we have time for a Q&A session. At the end of the program, we warmly invite you to stay for an apéro (sponsored by avuba)!

This talk is organized by Compass, together with avuba and skuba, and is open to all university members from all disciplines.

Time and place: 
April 14, 16:00-17:00 at the Kollegienhaus, Hörsaal 120 
(Petersgraben 50, Basel).
