About the Event

On January 28, 2024, the Next Steps Neurodiversity Expo was held in the Exhibit Hall at the Boulder County Fairgrounds in Longmont. This free community event celebrated neurodiversity and supported individuals of all ages with autism, ADHD, dyslexia, and other neurodiversities. Families, individuals, professionals, and advocates gathered to access resources, meet service providers, and explore supports designed to enhance the lives of neurodivergent individuals.

With more than 85 vendors and over 900 attendees, the Expo offered a wide range of supports including diagnostic services, mental health care, speech therapy, occupational therapy, educational programs, coaching services, adult support groups, and employment assistance. The event created a welcoming space where community members could explore options, ask questions, and connect with providers offering tools and pathways to help neurodivergent individuals thrive.

Thank You to Our Sponsors and Vendors

This event was made possible through the generous support of our sponsors. We are grateful to Horizon Neuropsychological Services, Temple Grandin School, Expand Mentoring, Pulse Line Collaborative Training, Fusion Academy Boulder County, Branching Out Together PLLC, PASCO, Neurodiversity Works, and Autism Society of Colorado. Their gift of sponsorship ensured that attendees had access to high quality resources across health care, education, social connection, and advocacy.

Vendors represented diagnosing providers, early intervention programs, educational organizations, mentorship services, adult and family support groups, and employment programs. Attendees explored therapy options, vocational training, adaptive technology, and additional services that help individuals navigate daily life with confidence.

To make the event even more engaging, the Expo included food trucks, character actors, face painting for children, and a dedicated sensory break area designed to provide a calming space for anyone who needed it.

A Lasting Impact

The Next Steps Neurodiversity Expo in Longmont demonstrated the importance of accessible, community based supports for neurodivergent individuals and their families. With over 900 attendees and strong engagement across all vendor booths, participants left with new connections, practical tools, and a clearer understanding of available resources.

We extend our sincere thanks to all sponsors, vendors, and attendees who contributed to making this event so impactful. Together we strengthened a more inclusive community where neurodivergent individuals can continue to thrive.
