Neuroconvergence subscribes to the social model of disability, a model made by disabled people for disabled people and which supports a neuroaffirmative practice. While we emphasise the importance of social model thinking, we welcome engagement from other perspectives to build an intersectional approach to collaboration and cross-community engagement. This means that we make space for engagement with those of differing lived experiences and from different backgrounds of thought in the spirit of inclusion and robust methodology.
If you have any queries or concerns about this after any of our events, we would love to open a dialogue with you. Please feel free to email us at hello@neuroconvergence.ie

‘Tingles. Tickles. Ants crawling through the veins. Then suddenly a shooting pain. Then nothing…How am I going to make them see that I am in here?’
Based on his own experiences as a non-speaker, Max Whelan’s brilliant, searing debut play brims with humour and heart. Unveiled is unapologetically political, challenging assumptions and demanding a new approach to communication and education.
Unveiled will be followed by a panel on “Presuming Competence” with Adrienne Murphy, Caoimh Connolly Murphy, Max Whelan, Anna Lechleiter and more.

If you haven’t been there before, it’s good to note that the UCD campus is very large, and so additional time can be needed to find your way around.
There are 4 entrances to the UCD Student Centre.
Main Entrance
Foyer Entrance
Rear Entrance
Quad Entrance
Our team has found that navigating to and parking on the UCD campus can be quite stressful. We advise allowing extra time for this, so that you can make it to the event on time.
More information regarding parking and transport options, as well as way-finding videos, google maps links, and pictures of the various entrances to the building, can be found below.
