Brainpower – Making Your Neurotype Work for You (Dutch-spoken only)

Do you ever feel that the way you study or handle stimuli is different from most of your fellow students? In this neurodiversity group, the university psychologists offer an inclusive space to explore that together. The group is designed for students with ADHD, autism, giftedness, high sensitivity, or other forms of neurodivergence - with or without a formal diagnosis. By sharing experiences and practicing practical strategies, you'll learn how to bring more balance to your studies and student life. 

Please note: this group is not focused on specific study tools such as time management or planning techniques, but on personal development and learning to work with your own neurotype.
