Neurodiversity Symposium*

New for 2025, our Annual Symposium will feature a wide-ranging topic and invite psychologists, experts and students to come and share their research, personal experiences, and discussions. Our inaugural symposium will be on Neurodiversity.

Neurodiversity refers to the natural variations in how the human brain functions. It encompasses diversities such as autism, ADHD, dyslexia, OCD, dyspraxia, auditory processing, and more. Neurodiversity aims to create a more inclusive world for everyone, and advocates for acceptance and support for all neurodiverse people. The aim of this symposium is to provide a safe and inclusive setting for neurodiverse people, students, professionals, and academics to share their stories and discover more about what it means to be neurodiverse.
