MnNEAT (Minnesota Neurodivergent Education, Advocacy, and Therapy Services) is a Minnesota-based nonprofit advancing disability justice through neurodiversity-affirming, anti-oppressive practices.

 

We support neurodivergent people across the lifespan, as well as families, educators, service providers, schools, and community organizations, to build systems that expand access, foster self-determination, and enable meaningful participation—without requiring people to change who they are.

​

Grounded in intersectionality and lived experience, we believe that disability not as an individual problem to be fixed, but as a relationship shaped by environments, policies, power, and access. Our work explicitly names and challenges ableism, recognizing how it operates structurally—not as an individual failing but as a systemic barrier.

​

MnNEAT’s work is especially rooted in supporting those most impacted by intersecting systems of oppression, including disabled people marginalized by race, class, gender, language, or immigration status. We exist because too many systems continue to prioritize normalization over access, compliance over consent, and convenience over humanity.

​

Through disability-affirming education, community care, and consultation, MnNEAT works to disrupt ableist systems while providing concrete, affirming support in the present.
