Sunrise on Neurodiversity Working Group
St. Mark’s is a place for families to worship, play, and grow together. And we want that to be true for every child, whatever their neurotype. Research indicates that children with ADHD, autism, dyslexia, and other forms of neurodivergence are less likely — and less able — to participate in faith formation if programs aren’t designed with them in mind. A small group of parishioners is forming to assess our programming and recommend steps to make it more welcoming, accessible, and inclusive for neurodiverse children and youth. Learn more
