NeuroNest is a cozy, neurodivergent-affirming creative space, offering art lessons, group workshops, and accessible arts programming for all ages: students, homeschoolers, community centers, retirement homes, group homes and more!
All of our services support diverse sensory, communication, social, and learning needs.
We center patience, flexibility, and understanding. Lessons and services are grounded in care, and center neurodivergent individuals (& their supports).
Session are tailored to personal interests, goals, and access needs. We consider assistive or mobility devices, sensory needs, nonverbal communication, communication devices, autonomy, and self-directed creative exploration. We also have experience exploring what self-advocacy might look like for transitional youth in creative fields and beyond secondary education.
Individuals, organizations, families, homeschoolers, group homes, community centers, and more.
We work with anyone interested in creating with us, especially people who are Autistic; have ADHD; have learning disabilities; have intellectual or developmental disabilities (including Down syndrome, Cerebral Palsy, and other ID/DD); or have other neurodivergent or related disabilities and experiences.
Based in Montgomery County, MD, we serve clients and families throughout the DMV. Sessions, classes, and workshops are available both virtually and in person across the greater Washington area.
