Our Managing Director of Programs, Jesse Sanchez, just wrapped up two powerful ND 101 presentations with John Jay College (CUNY)—one with 20 academic affairs staff and another with 40 engaged peer student coaches. ?? Staff had an eye-opening discussion on supporting ND students, with ND staff members connecting as workplace allies. ?? Students shared personal experiences with stuttering, BPD stigma, ADHD, and the challenges of navigating college without formal diagnoses or services. ?? The conversations sparked important dialogue and new ideas on how to foster a more inclusive campus! Want to learn more about neurodiversity and how to support ND students?
