Neurodiversify Your Toolbox
Neurodiversify Your Toolbox Workshops for Students
Neurodiversify Your Toolbox is a 4-session skills workshop series designed to create a Neurodivergent (ND)-positive space for students to learn more about how their brains work, gain useful tools/resources for navigating barriers in neurotypical spaces/systems (e.g., college classes), and share their own skills collectively.
What to Expect in These Workshops
This workshop series is open to any students who identify as a neurodivergent. This can include ADHD, Autism Spectrum, OCD, Learning Disabilities, etc. No diagnosis required and no appointment or RSVP necessary.
Important Note: The purpose of learning “skills” is not to increase masking or “make you more neurotypical.” In addition, these workshops are NOT therapy or a therapy group. If you are looking for a therapy group, please contact the Counseling and Wellness Center at 360-650-3164 to find out more about individual and group services.
