About Us

The Neurodiversity Alliance is the nation’s largest and leading nonprofit
organization founded by, and for, students who learn differently. Our
mission is to improve the educational experience and outcomes of students
with learning and attention challenges.

students are more than test scores and transcripts. Our application focuses
on storytelling, helping students share their journey, strengths, and

while developing core leadership and professional skills for life.
