Get ready—Neurodiversity Celebration Month begins next week!
Next week, we’re diving into an exciting celebration of how unique and diverse our brains can be. Neurodiversity means that everyone’s brain works in its own special way, and there’s no ONE correct way to think, learn, or experience the world. We’re celebrating all the different ways people experience life, with a focus on understanding disabilities like ADHD, autism, dyslexia, Tourette Syndrome, and more.
Throughout the month, students will have the opportunity to participate in fun and engaging activities designed to celebrate these differences! Students can make slime and submerge themselves in a sensory room to explore sensory processing differences, and play interactive games to uncover the myths and strengths behind different disabilities.
The Neurodiversity Club has been working tirelessly to bring this exciting and meaningful month to life. They’re thrilled to offer these amazing opportunities to encourage everyone to learn, grow, and celebrate the unique strengths we all bring to the table! Please see the calendar for all of the exciting activities we have planned!
