Ako Aotearoa is pleased to sponsor the 2025 NeuroAbility Symposium, being held at Otago Polytechnic / Te Kura Matatini ki Otago, Dunedin.

2025 Theme:

The main theme for the NeuroAbility Symposium 2025 is Solutions.

Otago Polytechnic are inviting individuals, learners, and educators to share their insights on creating neurodiverse-friendly learning environments.

All presenters have an association with neurodiversity, either personally or as tertiary educators and supporters and will have their neurodiversity statement as part of their bio.

This is an inclusive event. Otago Polytechnic and Ako Aotearoa believe that everyone has the right to participate in and benefit from the NeuroAbility Symposium. We are committed to creating an inclusive and welcoming environment for all attendees.

We are excited to bring this group of neurodivergent people together and look forward to meeting you in September.
