Introduction to the Foundation for Neurodiversity

Helping Neurodiverse Communities Live, Grow and Thrive!

 

What is Neurodiversity?


Neurodiversity refers to variations in the human brain which influence  socializing, learning, feeling and function differently than the neurotypical population. Neurodiversity promotes support-systems such as inclusion-focused services, accommodations, communication and assistive technologies, training and independent living support options, for the neurodiverse population.
