Community Empowerment
We work with community leaders, non-profits, and foundations on efforts to improve Washington’s employment landscape.
The UW Institute for Neurodiversity and Employment leverages research-backed insights to strengthen Washington’s employment ecosystem through a commitment to authentic collaboration. By partnering closely with neurodivergent individuals and communities, the Institute ensures that lived experience guides every program, policy, and innovation. This mission is achieved through five key areas:
Collaborative Systems
Partnering with community leaders, non-profits, and foundations to improve the regional employment landscape.
