What is Neurodiversity?

Neurodiversity explains why we are not all the same.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Someone who is ‘neurodivergent‘ may learn, think, or behave differently than what is considered “typical” (also known as ‘neurotypical’). Misunderstanding can lead to children feeling isolated, excluded from their peers, and frustrated.

Variations in the way we learn, think or behave are often labelled with a diagnosis – Such as Dyslexia, Dyscalculia, Dysgraphia, Dyspraxia, Developmental Language Disorder (or DLD), Autism, ADHD, and more.
