This interactive session explores how creative, sensory-affirming workshops can cultivate neurodivergent joy, connection, and belonging in higher education. Drawing from a campus-based initiative that integrates crafts, affirmation, and low-pressure social engagement, presenters will demonstrate how experiential activities move institutions beyond compliance-based accommodations toward proactive inclusion. Participants will engage in brief hands-on reflection, examine implementation strategies, and leave with adaptable models for creating joy-centered spaces that support neurodivergent students’ well-being, self-expression, and community connection.
