Viability (Neurodivergent Futures)
Viability is a neurodiverse team working to create ND∞Connect, an accessible web app that supports neurodivergent people at work in three important ways:
1. By removing barriers that neurodivergent people experience in traditional networking processes (e.g., implicit neurotypical social norms, information overload, etc.)
2. By making networking, community building and mentorship between neurodivergent people more widely available
3. By using crowdsourcing to help us create innovative, effective and data-driven solutions that support businesses in becoming neuroinclusive
At its core, ND∞Connect improves support at work by making it easier for individuals to get career advice from people who both understand their jobs and their lived experiences, and by creating systemic change so that workplaces start to support disabled people by default.
