Neurodiversity is a term we are starting to hear more and more often, but what does it mean? The word itself comes from ‘neuro,’ meaning the brain, and ‘diversity,’ meaning different, so it refers to the fact that our brains all behave differently. Neurodiversity is a positive term that promotes awareness, recognition and respect for the ways that our brain functions can vary from person to person.

When we talk about neurodiversity this can cover a wide range of specific differences and neurodivergent conditions, such as dyslexia, dyspraxia, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The concept of neurodiversity recognises that, for those with differences, things like retaining information, learning new things and maintaining focus can be more difficult. By embracing neurodiversity, we can reduce the stigma and make it easier for people to access support and get help to build their confidence, self-esteem and resilience and ultimately, to help people to achieve their personal goals in life, learning and work.

In this introductory session you will find out more about the whole range of courses that we have on offer to raise awareness and understanding of neurodiversity.
