[CoC] FYI--UUA "Welcoming Neurodivergent People: Skill Up"

[Emily G. Seifert]

Hello, everyone -

Following up on Rev. Joan's email, I wanted to mention an amazing resource
we have right here in Montpelier, located just two doors away from UCM. All
Brains Belong <https://allbrainsbelong.org/> VT is a neuroinclusive primary
care practice founded by Dr. Melissa Houser. A core aspect of ABB's work is
community education and outreach, including a free weekly education series
called "Brain Club".  All of the Brain Club archives are available to watch
for free here <https://allbrainsbelong.org/brain-club/>. Several sessions
from April through July 2022 are about inclusion, neuroinclusive
employment, and ableism. Dr. Houser also offers training and educational
consultations for organizations looking to improve their practices of
inclusion. She is an engaging presenter and amazing person with so much to
share. I highly recommend the many resources offered on her website.

Cheers,
Emily
