5th International Neurodiversity & the Built Environment Symposium: Interdependence in Action

Marking the fifth year of the International Neurodiversity and the Built Environment series, our theme, "Interdependence in Action," promotes collaboration, interaction, and mutual support while suggesting practical and actionable discussions that address all-inclusive ways of inhabiting and perceiving our environments.

The symposium builds on the previous four years' symposia, FALL2020 Building Community and Rethinking the Built Environment, FALL2021 Immersive Experiences, FALL2022 PlaceMaking, and SPRING2024 Intentional Connections, respectively. These cross-disciplinary events stimulate international dialogue amongst neurodivergent individuals, communities and advocacy groups, and design, health, art, and technology professionals.

Special Guest Speaker (virtual): Alice Wong, Disability Visibility Project, presented by the Jefferson Humanities Forum, organized by Jefferson Humanities & Health.

We invite all participants to join us for the in-person reception event the evening before the Symposium to meet and cross-pollinate.
