Chihuahua municipal government launches neurodivergence awareness campaign

The Municipal DIF in Chihuahua City has launched the “Reconociendo la Neurodivergencia” (Recognizing Neurodivergence) campaign. The initiative aims to promote respect, visibility, and understanding of different ways individuals learn, communicate, and develop.

The campaign seeks to create spaces for dialogue to help families and the community recognize the specific needs of children and adolescents while reducing social prejudices. It involves a collaborative strategy between government institutions, specialized organizations, and civil associations, utilizing informative talks, orientation stands, and media outreach.

This effort stems from the Municipal DIF Neurodevelopment Area, established in October 2022 to provide detection, family guidance, and referrals to specialized institutions. A renewed inter-institutional collaboration agreement was signed in April 2025 to ensure the continuity of these services.
