About
The vision, mission, projects and initiatives
The Foundation has the goal; To create a society that works for all individuals regardless of their braintypes, we develop in projects, the tools, community, campaigns, researches and products, to enhance societal equality, social connections and cooperation between neurodivergent and neurotypical individuals, thereby supporting to move forward towards a neurodiverse society.
The Foundation will reach her goals by:
- research activities, production, innovation and distribution of projects that facilitate equality, self-management and effective joining for neurodivergents in the classroom, on the working space, in friendships, in groups in relationships and as individuals in society.
- campaigns of information that foster mutual understanding, curiosity and acceptable between neurodivergent and neurotypical individuals,
- developing knowledge and tools for effective communication that take into consideration how communication and cooperation is enacted by neurodiverse individuals
The Neurodiversity Foundation has 3 pillars of focus
- Assistive Technology for neurodiverse communication: In the ATHENS initiative, its partners are creating the tools to facilitate communication by and cooperation in (neuro)diverse families with a messenger that supports basic gestures, basic signs, sentence-stepping and a team- or family-specific ‘secret’ motion-language for online and offline communication: Family Signs & Work Signs. The foundation aims to explore and research the possibility and implementation of a default motion-signalling language for online & offline use, in order to bridge the communicationgaps between neurotypes.
- Awareness & Pride, for all neurodivergents: Neurodiversity information and support campaigns. Via video (Krachtig Anders video series), social media campaigns (accounts & influencers), games (neurodiverse traits quartet), workshops, and through politics (supporting neurodiverse friendly politicians with a Neuroinclusive Politician Award, and direct proposals). We show our pride, by organizing the National Neurodiversity Pride Day- run, each year on June 18th.
- Education about the value of (neuro)diversity: My Amazing Brain – magazine, distribution and campaign to support neurodiverse friendly classrooms. Also, we created the Neurodiversity Education Academy with free courses, supported by apps. As well as webinars on the topic. Neurodiversity also maintains the Brainy App, which was build by our researchpartner 2Tango.
An additional long-term but more local focus since our early days, starting preparations in 2016, has been to introduce the concept of Neurodiversity in the Netherlands and beyond, and make it a more well-known and used word that has direct and indirect positive impact on behaviours and attitude between Neurodivergents and Neurotypicals.
The Foundation has projects
- Supporting the scientific and practical research for the Signs project for newer ways of neurodivergent-friendly communication, in collaboration with ATHENS (the Assistive Tech Hub Enhancing A Neurodiverse-friendly Society)
- Neurodiversity Pride Day celebrations in the week of June 16th
- Neurodiversity Education Academy
- Brainy App & My Brain Magazines
- Brain Awareness Week activities
- Workshops & Webinars on diversity
- Support for organizations and companies on Neurodiversity related matters
- Research for the Together project and related social meetup opportunities for neurodivergents
- Stride with Pride sportsactivities
- Neuroemergence Online Summit, meetups and community, focussing on late-diagnosed neurodivergents.
