The aim of the project is to disseminate knowledge on neurodivergence and co-occurring conditions, including autism, ADHD, anxiety disorders, trauma, depression and addictions. Our shared intention is to support the recognition of the needs of neurodivergent individuals and to promote effective forms of professional support.
The initiative will be carried out across publishing, research, expert and educational-promotion activities. Its central element will be the “Neuroświaty” series, comprising expert, guidebook and popular science publications prepared by authors from Poland and abroad.
The editorial board of the series includes:
on behalf of the 91ɫ:
- Prof. Eleonora Bielawska-Batorowicz (Head of the Department of Clinical Psychology and Psychopathology, 91ɫ),
- Dr Krystyna Pomorska (psychologist and behavioural therapist);
on behalf of the Jim Foundation:
- dr n. med. Kajetana Foryciarz (psychiatrist and member of the European Network Adult ADHD) and
- Ewa Furgal (founder and president of the Dziewczyny w Spektrum Foundation).
“Neuroświaty” is another example of Lodz University Press’s commitment to building social awareness of neurodiversity and creating a space for dialogue between research, professional practice and lived experience. The new project continues the existing publishing partnership with the Jim Foundation, which has already resulted in the publication of the following books:
[Childhood, Adolescence and Adulthood of Women with ADHD];
[Support for Children with ADHD].
