As we reflect back on 2023, we celebrate the successful launch of the Lowcountry Neurodiverse Network (LNN) in August! Creating a community for neurodiverse individuals and their loved ones has been a vision for sometime, and a labor of love. We are thrilled to share that our community has been steadily growing! In December, we had 164 people access the website, and LNN's monthly blog reached a 25% open rate (30-50% is typical)! Furthermore, LNN coordinated the following social activities for neurodiverse kids/teens:
Social Connections Teen D&D Club
Social Connections Teen Art Club
Social Connections Girls Glam Day led by Roots to Thrive (OT)
Our goal for 2024 is to reach even more people! We want professionals and families sharing this resource with each other. We want to continue to offer vetted informational blogs that are meaningful, applicable and useful while improving readership. Finally, we want to offer parent workshops, and continue to partner with local organizations to offer social activities for neurodiverse individuals. This spring we are excited to offer:
Social Connections Running Club led by Without Limits
Social Connections Intramural Sports & Games led by Beach Cowboy Fitness
Social Connections Boat Building led by Lowcountry Maritime School - full
Social Connections Girls' Glam Group led by Roots to Thrive (OT)
Social Connections Yoga led by Roots to Thrive (OT)
And so much more
