About BGMC

Our mission

Understand neurodiversity. Connect care, learning and daily life.

Boston Global Medical Collaboration (BGMC) develops public conversations and professional learning around autism, neurodiversity and support across the lifespan. Our focus is the work between disciplines: how clinical assessment, brain science, psychology, education and rehabilitation can inform a more complete understanding of a person’s strengths, needs and everyday participation.

Begin with the person, across life stages

Questions change from early development and school participation to mental health, work, family life and adult services. BGMC’s learning agenda brings these stages into one conversation, with attention to individual differences and the perspectives of families and professionals. The September 26 public forum is an accessible starting point.

Make research understandable and useful

Scientific findings need context before they can inform professional decisions. Our planned curriculum pairs developmental science and assessment with case discussion, clinical integration and reflection on practice. The March symposium examines emerging research; the summer intensive gives participants time to explore specific scientific and clinical topics in depth.

Build a common foundation, then specialize

The annual pathway organizes seven core modules from November through May, followed by optional advanced learning. Four tracks help clinical, psychological, educational and rehabilitation practitioners relate shared concepts to their own responsibilities. Program enrollment, event participation and membership each have their own requirements.

Connect international teaching with local questions

Chinese terminology preparation, guided reading and case discussions help participants work with material across languages. The aim is to compare ideas thoughtfully with local service structures, school environments and family priorities, rather than assume that one approach fits every setting.
