Neurodiversity Group
Meets: Third Tuesday of the month from 7:00-8:30pm
Facilitators: Charisma Starr
Contact: Charisma Starr at neurodiversity@uusg.org.
Neurodiversity is the concept that neurological differences such as autism, ADHD, and dyslexia are natural variations in the human genome, rather than deficits or disorders to be cured. It promotes the idea that there is no single "right" way for a brain to function, and encourages acceptance of diverse thinking, learning, and behavioral styles.
Please join us on Tuesday, August 18, 7-8:30pm in the Common Room for our first Neurodiversity group meeting, where we educate, celebrate, and support these differences with a 20-minute presentation on neurodiversity, followed by personal stories and group discussion. Moving forward we plan to meet the 3rd Tuesdays of the month.
