POSTPONED - Autism and Neurodivergence Celebration Month: Neurodivergency and Budgeting Workshop

Due to unforeseen circumstances, the Neurodivergency and Budgeting Workshop is postponed. We look forward to co-hosting this workshop in the future.

Budgeting is often treated as one-size-fits-all, but that is far from the case! Some neurodivergent people in particular may face additional challenges when managing their finances. Join us on Thursday, April 24 at Parks Hall 441 from 4:30 PM – 6:00 PM for a budgeting workshop tailored to neurodivergent minds where you can learn about strategies for financial success in a judgment-free space! 

This event is co-sponsored by the Merriman Financial Literacy Program.

Autism and Neurodivergence Celebration Month

Autism and Neurodivergence Celebration Month is a month-long celebration throughout April that celebrates our autistic and neurodivergent community. Autism and Neurodivergence Celebration Month combines Neurodiversity Celebration Week, originally recognized March 17 - March 23 during the winter quarter finals week, and Autism Acceptance Month, recognized throughout April, to celebrate the autistic and neurodivergent community at WWU. This year’s theme is "Doing It Our Way!" Throughout the month, the DAC and DOC,  in collaboration with our partners the Institute for Critical Disability Studies and Counseling and Wellness Center and co-hosts Centers for Student Access, Community, and Intercultural Engagement, Merriman Financial Literacy Program, and Ershig Assistive Technology Resource Center, will have a variety of events and programs for students, faculty, staff, and community members including a Flag Raising and Reception, Supporting Neurodivergent Students in the Classroom faculty workshop, Neurodivergency and Budgeting Workshop, and Fidget Making Workshop.
