NeuroExchange: Policy for Impact

Thursday, October 22, 2026 | 9:00am - 10:30am

DIRT Coffee, 1785 Quebec Street, Denver, CO, 80220

Join us for a landmark edition of NeuroExchange focused on advancing neurodiversity through policy and advocacy. This event will bring together leaders from government, business, education, healthcare, and advocacy organizations to explore how policy shapes opportunity, inclusion, and equity for neurodivergent individuals across Colorado.

We have invited officials and thought leaders to join the conversation and share their perspectives on the current state and future of neurodiversity policy in Colorado. A dynamic panel will highlight key policy areas, including education, employment, healthcare, accessibility, and housing, and discuss opportunities for collaboration across sectors.

Following the panel, attendees will have the opportunity to engage directly with speakers through a moderated Q&A session — asking questions, sharing insights, and exploring how policy can drive meaningful, lasting change.

Policy for Impact is not just an event, it’s a conversation that builds bridges, amplifies neurodivergent voices, and helps shape a policy agenda that moves neurodiversity forward in Colorado and beyond.
