Student urges awareness and inclusion for neurodivergent people
Summary
Landon Lewis, a student presenter, asked the board to promote understanding of neurodivergence and reduce stigma through media outreach and community education to help neurodivergent residents feel included.
Landon Lewis (student presenter) described how neurodivergent people are often misunderstood and marginalized in public settings and urged broader public awareness efforts to reduce stigma and increase inclusion.
Lewis recommended outreach via local media, schools and radio to encourage people to learn about neurodivergence so community members will be more likely to notice signs, offer support, and reduce harmful labeling. The presenter said small changes in awareness could encourage people to seek resources and support rather than be treated as outcasts.
Commissioners thanked the students for their presentations; no formal county actions were recorded.
