Neurodiversity is a framework that recognizes the natural differences in how people think, learn, and process information. Neurodivergent individuals—those with autism, ADHD, dyslexia, PTSD, and more—have brains that function differently from what’s considered typical. This 90-minute interactive workshop will help you understand neurodiversity and how to support neurodivergent individuals in everyday life.

The workshop will cover:
What neurodiversity is and why it matters
Strengths and challenges neurodivergent people may experience, including sensory sensitivities and difficulties with organization, time management, and decision-making
Common myths and misconceptions
Simple ways to be more welcoming to neurodivergent folks at work, home, and in your community

Who can participate?
Public-facing professionals who want to better serve neurodivergent individuals.
People with neurodivergent family or friends who want to understand their experiences.
Managers and coworkers looking to create a more supportive workplace for neurodivergent colleagues.
Anyone interested in learning about the different ways people think and experience the world.
Anyone looking for practical tools to make everyday interactions more supportive and understanding.

The workshop, held at Lindsborg Old Mill & Swedish Heritage Museum, 120 E. Mill Street, begins at 1:00pm and is free. Appreciation is given to the Lindsborg Masonic Lodge #397 for sponsoring the event.
