College of William and Mary - The Neurodiversity Initiative seeks first to serve the
W&M campus community and ultimately to
be a model for others. The program is committed to educating the community about brain
differences and to supporting and cultivating
an appreciation of the many kinds of diversity
we can nurture. To achieve this they created a
Neurodiversity Working Group composed of
faculty, staff, administrators, students, alumni
and members of the community. There is also
a Neurodiversity Student Group, which provides a venue for students who are interested
in learning about neurodiversity and students
who are neurodiverse themselves to meet others and endorse positive change.
