About the Event

On July 27, 2025, the YMCA in Lafayette, Colorado, served as the venue for the Next Steps Neurodiversity Resource Fair, a free community event dedicated to celebrating neurodiversity and supporting individuals of all ages with autism, ADHD, dyslexia, and other developmental differences. The event provided an invaluable opportunity for families, professionals, and advocates to connect with service providers and access essential resources aimed at enhancing the lives of neurodivergent individuals.With over 45 vendors from Lafayette and the surrounding area and 250 attendees, the fair offered a wide range of services including mental health support, speech therapy, occupational therapy, educational programs, adult support groups, and employment assistance. The event successfully brought together the local community to offer critical tools and information for neurodivergent individuals and their families.
