What is Neurodiversity?

Neurodiversity is a viewpoint that brain differences are normal, rather than deficits. Neurodivergent people experience, interact with, and interpret the world in unique ways. This concept can help reduce stigma around learning and thinking differences.

Types of Neurodiverse Learners

The term neurodiversity usually refers to range of specific learning differences including:

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
Developmental Co-ordination Disorder (DCD) also referred to as Dyspraxia
Developmental Language Disorder (DLD)
Epilepsy
Foetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder
Intellectual Disability
Tourettes and Tic disorders
Specific Learning Disorder/ Differences e.g Dyslexia, Dyscalculia.
