Simply put, neurodiversity is used as an umbrella term used to describe alternative thinking styles such as Dyslexia, DCD (Dyspraxia), Dyscalculia, Autism and ADHD.
Statistics from www.neurodiversityweek.com say approximately 15-20% of the population has a neurological difference. It is important to harness the strengths and talents of neurodivergent individuals, as this helps to build confidence and self-esteem, and ensures individuals are given the opportunity to flourish in their day-to-day.
