The Future of Neurodiverse Communities in North America

This 1.5-hour foundational workshop explores the vision and practical steps to creating a neurodivergent cohousing community. Participants will learn about the "why"—the importance of fostering inclusive housing that fosters acceptance, purpose, appreciation and therefore happiness —and the "how"—key strategies to start organizing a neurodivergent community initiative in your state and town.

This course is for all: advocates, legislators, non-profit staff, housing developers, municipal employees, architects, planners, designers, grassroots organizers, activists, urban volunteers, and all good citizens interested in taking action on this topic.

By connecting with the philosophy and practices of neurodiverse communities, advocates can create more inclusive, supportive, and well-rounded environments that benefit students, parents, and the wider community.

By the end of this class, participants will acquire a foundational understanding of how to create sustainable communities that prioritize inclusivity and actively support neurodivergent individuals driving a more inclusive future across North America.

This introductory session sets the stage for the six-part Neurodivergent Community Living: Cohousing Workshop Series which dives deeper into the process and challenges ahead. Learn more and register for the Six-Part workshop series HERE.
