Overview

Mission

All brains belong vt, inc. Builds healthier communities for people with all types of brains through neurodiversity-affirming medical care, social connection, employment support, and community education.

What it reported doing in 2025

Education programs: we provide neurodiversity training for employers, healthcare practices, schools, and community organizations. We also provide free public webinars throughout the year. Understanding the ways that people think, learn and communicate benefits everyone, and promotes a culture of acceptance and understanding. More than 1,011 people received neurodiversity training in 2025, with 95% reporting improved knowledge and skills that change the way they do their work. Our flagship education project is a free comprehensive educational resource for patients and primary care providers to improve autistic and adhd patients' healthcare, which has been accessed by more than 34,000 people from around the world.

  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict
