Real support. A more inclusive community.
Stark Sensory Center for Neurodiversity (SCN) is an independent nonprofit developing practical family navigation, social opportunities, caregiver support and community inclusion for neurodivergent individuals and their families across the lifespan.
Currently in development: SCN is recruiting its Board, exploring partnerships and preparing future programs. Its approximately 12-month planning horizon is a goal, not a confirmed opening date. No SCN program registrations, respite nights or navigation appointments are currently available.
