Autism Shifts (501c3) is evolving. The non-profit is re-branding as NEUROSHIFTS to reflect the organization’s expansion to serve more families with neurodivergent young adults and work within corporate settings to help support Neurodiversity.
Neurodiversity is a growing movement and encompasses; Autism, ADHD, Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, and all those with neurological differences.
Vicky Westra, the founder of Autism Shifts (now NEUROSHIFTS), reflected on the organization’s journey, having served hundreds of families in the Tampa Bay area. “Our daughter Gabbi is on the spectrum and was our initial inspiration for establishing Autism Shifts. We are now ready for the next step of our evolution to ensure we can help and support more families whose members are Neurologically divergent. We want to support neurodiverse individuals and families at home and in employment settings in the Tampa Bay area and beyond. We’ve built some great corporate relationships during our Autism Shifts journey and want to expand upon those efforts”.
NEUROSHIFTS is launching its new brand with a “Get Your Glow On” event, on Saturday, April 23, from 6 pm to 9 pm at the Museum of Science and Industry (MOSI) located at 4801 E. Fowler Ave. in Tampa. The organization is extending an open invitation to the community to join them in this family-friendly celebration and to learn more about NEUROSHIFTS’ new programs and services, including their new Green Zone Life program, offering courses, workshops, social and meet-up groups, personal and group coaching and a membership program. Designed to best help those they serve, Green Zone Life will help participants achieve greater emotional/mental well-being and self-confidence and develop a positive, joyful outlook for the future to live the life they desire.
The $35 ticket price for the event includes demonstrations of different well-being modalities by leading experts in the Tampa Bay community and access to MOSI’s interactive, hands-on exhibits, plus tasty treats served by Bay Area Food Trucks, alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, a goodie bag with glow items to wear during the event, and more!
