Where Neurodiverse Youth Can Shine
Mission:
Spectrum of Light is dedicated to creating a warm, inclusive community where neurodiverse youth are empowered to be their authentic selves. We provide structured, judgment-free activities for social connection, friendship-building, and self-expression. We also support families by hosting events that provide access to resources, educational opportunities, and community connections. In addition, we advocate for greater understanding, inclusion, and support for neurodiverse individuals within schools and the broader community. By celebrating neurodiversity we help children grow in friendship, celebrate their differences, and light up the world with their shared brilliance.
