In this paper we discuss the outcomes of a quality improvement project which aimed to educate neurodivergent youth about (a) sexual orientation and gender identity and expression (SOGIE); and (b) social media use. The project also endeavored to educate parents and service providers to address these topics with their children and youth. We created, implemented, and evaluated online courses. In this study we share to the evaluation results as well as the challenges of implementing this project.
