Overview

NMC's Neurodiversity Support Center (NSC) supports neurodiverse students in making a smooth transition from high school to college while developing skills needed in the workplace. Neurodiversity encompasses a range of learning differences, often including but not limited to anxiety, autism, ADHD and OCD.

These services are beyond the accommodations required by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and offered by NMC's Disability Support Services. You are not required to have a formal diagnosis to work with the Neurodiversity Support Center, located in Scholars Hall 13 (lower level) on NMC's Front Street campus.
