NEI Highlights Groundbreaking Presentation on Accommodations: "Accommodation Planning for Real Life"

A New Standard for Actionable, Neurodivergent-Affirming Support

ST. PETERSBURG, FL / ACCESS Newswire / December 4, 2025 / The Neurodivergent Empowerment Institute (NEI) will debut its signature model of neurodivergent-affirming accommodations during its Grand Opening Wellness Event on Sunday, December 14, 2025, at 2200 2nd Ave S, Suite 134, St. Petersburg, FL.

The presentation, "Accommodation Planning for Real Life," delivered by Cheryl Moore, introduces NEI's highly sought-after approach to designing accommodations that are meaningful, functional, and tailored to each individual's actual lived experience.

Rather than relying on generic, boilerplate recommendations, NEI's accommodations process is built on three core principles:

1. Individualized Nervous System Understanding
NEI assesses sensory profiles, cognitive patterns, communication preferences, burnout risk, and nervous system load to determine what supports are actually needed-not just what is typically offered.

2. Practical, Real-World Functionality
Accommodations are designed to reduce friction in daily life, improve access, and enhance autonomy. They address work, school, family systems, community settings, medical environments, and relational dynamics.

3. Empowerment Rather Than Compliance
NEI rejects compliance-based models and instead centers dignity, agency, and self-advocacy. Every recommendation is framed around honoring identity, not forcing conformity.

During the presentation, Moore will guide attendees through:

  • The difference between "paper accommodations" and genuinely helpful accommodations

  • How to design supports that lower sensory, emotional, and cognitive load

  • How to plan accommodations for autistic, ADHD, OCD, PDA, and trauma-impacted individuals

  • Examples of accommodations that transform school and workplace experiences

  • The role of family, teachers, employers, and clinicians in sustaining accommodations

  • How accommodations intersect with burnout, shutdowns, masking, and autistic fatigue

  • Why traditional models often fail-and how NEI's approach repairs those gaps

Moore will also describe NEI's collaborative planning process, which includes:

  • neuropsychological evaluation and clarification

  • environmental review

  • sensory and nervous system mapping

  • functional needs assessment

  • conversation with the client about real barriers and strengths

  • creation of a tailored accommodation plan

  • actionable guidance for implementation in various environments

"Accommodations are not favors," says Moore. "They are tools for survival, access, and autonomy. When accommodations reflect a person's actual neurology and daily life, everything becomes more possible."

This session will illustrate why NEI's accommodation plans have quickly become a cornerstone service for families, adults, employers, educators, and clinicians seeking clarity and practical direction.

NEI's work moves beyond outdated, compliance-focused approaches and instead offers a model built on validation, understanding, and empowerment-core values of the organization's mission.

The session is part of the Celebrate & Connect Grand Opening Wellness Event, a full day of presentations on autism, menopause and the endocannabinoid system, GLP-1s, functional genetics, PTSD, LGBTQ+ safety, autoimmune conditions, energy medicine, veterans' trauma recovery, and peptide therapy.
