Event description

In celebration of Neurodiversity Celebration Week (17–23 March), QLDC Libraries invite you to a FREE community event featuring four expert speakers, sparking important conversations on neurodiversity.

Navigating a neurodiverse world as an adult comes with unique challenges, from improving understanding and support to seeking a diagnosis. Join us for an insightful panel discussion exploring neurodiversity literacy and the barriers that can make adult diagnosis complex.

Featuring experts in ADHD, Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, and Autism—Kiara Moore, Chris Cole, Deb Saint, and MaryAnn Hughes—this conversation will shed light on lived experiences and ways to foster a more inclusive future.

Learn more from our panelists: 

  • Kiara Moore – Aspiring Therapy: Registered therapist offering neurodiversity-affirming therapy, including equine-assisted and mindfulness-based approaches.
  • Chris Cole – Learning Differences: Dyslexia coach and consultant, helping individuals and organizations harness dyslexic strengths for learning and innovation.
