Neurodiverse City

Family Meetups – Twice Per Month

Neurodiverse City (NC) is a welcoming community space where families can connect, share experiences, and support one another in navigating childhood neurodiversity. The program brings together parents, caregivers, and children in an inclusive environment that celebrates different ways of thinking, learning, and interacting. NC group now meets twice per month, offering parent support and engaging social space for children through  Connect Kids Club.

Connect Kids Club

Connect Kids Club offers children opportunities to build friendships, confidence, and social connection through engaging group activities. During both NC sessions, children participate in a combination of free play and structured group activities facilitated by our qualified support team. These activities create opportunities for peer connection, communication, and social-emotional learning in a supportive group setting.

Activities are guided by children’s interests and may include crafts, cooking, music, cooperative games, STEM projects, and occasional community outings.

No diagnosis is required to join     |     The space is wheelchair accessible.
