Neurodivergent Afternoon

Welcome to the Neurodivergent Afternoon, where we will discuss keys to focus and success in studies.

How can you concentrate and succeed in your studies? What tools are available? How can you manage anxiety, reading difficulties, or concentration challenges in job hunting? 

Experts from the ADHD Association, Datero ry, Vaasa City, VYY, and educational psychologists of the University of Vaasa will answer these questions.
