The María Cano University Foundation continues to share its knowledge and expertise at influential academic events. On this occasion, Mercy Torres Quintero, coordinator of the Speech-Language Pathology program at the Neiva campus, participated as a speaker at the 2nd Congress on Neurodiversity and Autism, an event that brought together professionals, researchers, and experts committed to inclusion and the improvement of care practices for neurodivergent individuals.

During her presentation, entitled “When Communication Means Discovering New Possibilities, That Is Where the Real Challenge Begins,” she explored communication as an essential element for the development, participation, and quality of life of neurodivergent individuals. She also shared experiences and insights into support and intervention processes from the perspective of Speech-Language Pathology.

Her participation highlighted the role of speech-language pathologists within interdisciplinary teams and their contribution to developing communication skills, removing barriers to participation, and creating more inclusive environments for individuals and their families.

Through its presence at this academic event, María Cano reaffirms its commitment to comprehensive education, research, and academic outreach, taking knowledge beyond the classroom and contributing to conversations that promote inclusion, well-being, and social transformation.
