Mentorship plays a crucial role in the success of neurodivergent individuals. Whether in education or employment, a supportive mentor helps build confidence, skills, and a path toward independence. 🌱

Inclusion begins with understanding. 💙

Our recent sensitization session at ATLAS SkillTech University brought together 38 students and 5 faculty members to discuss ADHD, Down Syndrome, and Autism Spectrum Disorder. ♾️
Through engaging videos, case studies, and interactive activities, we explored ways to communicate effectively and create accommodating spaces for neurodivergent individuals in college settings. 🤝

The participants’ questions and shared experiences highlighted the impact of collective effort and learning. Let’s keep working towards a more inclusive future! ✨
