What is the Neurodiversity Support Program?

Neurodiversity is a term that describes the diversity of human brains and minds. It recognizes that people naturally have different ways of thinking, learning, and processing information.

Our Neurodiversity Support Program is dedicated to supporting students with neurodiverse conditions such as ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, and others as they transition to college. We provide support in developing executive functioning skills, social skills, and transitioning skills to help students succeed academically and personally.

Our Goal: Create an inclusive environment that celebrates neurodiversity and empowers students to achieve their goals.
