As the seasons change, we’re reflecting on the incredible success of our Learning Disabilities Awareness Month campaign in October, when people across the country joined us in celebrating what neurodiversity means to them. From students and educators to families and allies, your stories reminded us how powerful it is to belong to a community that sees and celebrates you.
Building on that momentum, we’re thrilled to share that applications are now open for The Neurodiversity Scholarship! This scholarship supports neurodivergent students who embody leadership, advocacy, and resilience in their educational journeys. This scholarship represents our commitment to investing in the next generation of changemakers who are shaping more inclusive schools, workplaces, and communities.
As we prepare for Giving Tuesday, we’re reminded that opportunities like this scholarship and all of our programs are only possible because of the generosity of our community. Your support makes it possible for young people to start clubs at their schools, share their stories across the nation as speaking ambassadors, and grow into leaders who drive lasting change for neurodivergent learners nationwide.
This Giving Tuesday, help us reach our goal of $35,000. Your gift helps shape the next generation of neurodivergent leaders. Donate today and make an immediate impact.
Community Updates
Applications are now open for The Neurodiversity Scholarship - the nation’s largest scholarship program for neurodivergent students. Do you know a high school senior or college student with ADHD, dyslexia, autism, or another learning difference? Encourage them to share their story and be recognized for their strengths.
Our October Learning Disabilities Awareness Month campaign was a huge success! People nationwide came together to share what neurodiversity means to them, creating a vibrant community of voices and stories that celebrated the strengths and contributions of neurodivergent individuals everywhere. Thank you to everyone who joined in!
Our Founder and CEO, David Flink, was featured in the Venture Leadership Collective’s 10 Years, 10 Lessons edition, written by Maya Smith, VLC’s Collective Engagement Advisor. In the piece, David reflects on his work with Gary Chapman, who joined The Neurodiversity Alliance during a pivotal time of growth. Gary’s wealth of experience and innovative leadership helped strengthen our systems and shape our next chapter.
We teamed up with Dyslexia on Demand to challenge common myths about dyslexia, beginning with the idea that spelling defines intelligence. In our co-written blog, we explore misconceptions about dyslexia, the importance of understanding how dyslexic minds learn, and why intelligence should never be measured by spelling tests or reading speed.
It's Giving Season!
As the holidays approach, we’re celebrating the power of community and generosity. This Giving Tuesday and throughout the season, you can support our mission to help neurodivergent students across the country thrive. Your gift provides opportunities for connection, confidence, and growth through our programs.
All season long, we’ll be sharing stories from members of our community whose lives have been profoundly shaped by The Neurodiversity Alliance. Give today and help more young people succeed through the programs that make it possible.
