The Higher Education Neurodiversity Network
Founded by the University of Melbourne Neurodiversity Project in 2024, the Higher Education Neurodiversity Network is a global community of like-minded individuals working within universities and other institutes of higher education to better support their neurodivergent staff and/or students through neurodiversity-affirming research and practice.
Members of the network meet via zoom six times a year to share information about their respective initiatives, request advice/feedback, and build community. Our first meeting will be in November 2024 (date and time to come), where we will each introduce ourselves and co-design the future of this network.
We are also in the process of setting up a LinkedIn group, so watch this space!
