Good Shepherd to Host Virtual Forums for Neurodivergent Community in Lehigh Valley

Three virtual sessions invite neurodivergent individuals, families and caregivers to help shape local services based on Good Shepherd’s 2025–2028 Community Health Needs Assessment.

Published Jan 15, 2026, 10:36 AM EST | Good Shepherd Rehab

Good Shepherd Rehabilitation invites individuals who identify as neurodivergent, as well as families and caregivers, to participate in one of three upcoming virtual community forums. Together, we’ll explore how to better understand and serve the needs of adults and children with autism, ADHD and other neurodivergent conditions in our region.

These forums are part of Good Shepherd’s ongoing effort to listen, learn and act on the needs of our community. Your input will help shape future programs and resources in the Lehigh Valley.

Details

Three sessions will be hosted in late January and February. The sessions will feature a high-level overview of findings from Good Shepherd’s recent 2025-2028 Community Health Needs Assessment survey. There will be a guided discussion led by our partners from Lehigh University’s College of Health.

Available Sessions:

  • Jan. 29, 2026 (10-11 a.m.)
  • Feb. 2, 2026 (6-7 p.m.)
  • Feb. 20, 2026 (12-1 p.m.)

Space is limited to 20 participants per session.

At the sessions, participants can share their perspective on what community resources and services would best support neurodivergent individuals and families.
