Building Inclusive Systems

Neurodivergent people face disproportionate barriers in healthcare, employment, and legal systems. For too long, the responsibility has been placed on individuals to adapt to systems that routinely overlook and harm them, rather than on institutions to change.

From Lived Experiences To Systems Change

NCF is a lived experience driven systems-change non profit designed to act as a field catalyst.

Our role is to translate evidence on neurodivergent experience into institutional change across healthcare, employment and justice systems.

Our model prioritizes speed, integrity of vision, and structural impact over traditional service deliver or governance.

Land Acknowledgement

The Neurodiversity Change Foundation acknowledges that our work takes place on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territories of the lək̓ʷəŋən Peoples (Songhees and Esquimalt Nations) and recognizes the ongoing relationships the W̱SÁNEĆ Peoples maintain with this land.

We acknowledge the harms of colonial systems that continue to shape inequities and inform dominant definitions of ability, behaviour, and intelligence, reinforcing racism and ableism across social systems.

As a neurodivergent-led organization, we commit to challenging these structures, honouring Indigenous sovereignty, and advancing culturally safe, accessible, and intersectional practices through ongoing reflection, accountability, action and solidarity in our practice and education work.
