What is Neurodiversity Celebration Week?

Founded by Siena Castellon in 2018, Neurodiversity Celebration Week is a worldwide initiative that challenges stereotypes and misconceptions about neurological differences. It aims to transform how neurodivergent individuals are perceived and supported by providing schools, universities, organisations, and others around the world with the opportunity to recognise the many skills and talents of neurodivergent individuals, while creating more inclusive and equitable cultures that celebrate differences and empower every individual.

From Awareness to Action: 
Making Organisational Change Happen

​

This year, during Celebrating Neurodiversity Week, we feel it’s also time to move beyond awareness by focusing on action at an organisational level and how we can share best practice together to have greater impact.
 

Building on previous years’ work, our sessions will showcase best practice in leadership, systems change, and scaling inclusion across workplaces, schools, and communities. 
 

Alongside our sessions, We’d love to create space for members of the neurodiversity community to lead conversations on the topics that matter most to you. If you’d be interested in hosting a webinar or panel discussion, we’ll share practical toolkits for parents, schools, and employers—helping to turn ideas into real change on the ground and sparking conversations throughout the week over coffee or tea time, whether that means sharing your lived experiences, highlighting research, or exploring solutions to challenges in the community.
