Atlanta Android Club Monthly Meetup: Neurodiversity in Tech

Join Atlanta Android Club for our August 2019 meeting, where David Hope will be joining us to discuss his experience with neurodiversity in our field. We'll be at a new location this month: Pandora in Midtown!

Neurodiversity in Tech: Creating Social Understanding

Our unique and exciting field of technology is a made up of a wide variety diverse groups, which make us all richer as a whole. While we have made great improvement in improving diversity, there is one group that remains marginalized: individuals with neurological disabilities, which are in reality are abilities. In this talk you will get to know more about the different types of Neurodiverse people, the problems we face, and solutions so we may come together and bring out the best in each other.
