Description
The Neurodiversity Inclusion Collaborative is a working group made up of students, staff, and faculty from across the University who advocate in identifying the needs for change on-campus and strive to bring awareness, acceptance, and community building for an inclusive and accessible campus for neurodivergent people. We meet monthly on the first Tuesday from 3:00 PM - 4:00 PM on Microsoft Teams. Get involved! Email neurodiversity.inclusion@wwu2.onmicrosoft.com for more information and to get connected.
Autism and Neurodivergence Celebration Month is a month-long celebration throughout April that celebrates our autistic and neurodivergent community. Autism and Neurodivergence Celebration Month combines Neurodiversity Celebration Week, originally recognized March 17 - March 23 during the winter quarter finals week, and Autism Acceptance Month, recognized throughout April, to celebrate the autistic and neurodivergent community at WWU. This year’s theme for the inaugural Autism and Neurodivergence Celebration Month is "Doing It Our Way!" Throughout the month, the Disability Access Center and Disability Outreach Center, in collaboration with our partners the Institute for Critical Disability Studies and the Counseling and Wellness Center, will have a variety of events and programs for students, faculty, and staff. Visit the Autism and Neurodivergence Celebration Month website for more information and to learn about the events occurring throughout the month.
