📌 Goole Adult Learning Centre, 6 November

‘Neurodiversity’ has become a common term in modern society, but what does it actually mean? Well, ‘neuro’ refers to the brain and ‘diversity’ relates to differences, so when you put the two together to make ‘neurodiversity’ it’s a term that recognises that all brains can behave differently.

Neurodiversity covers a wide range of differences and specific 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 raise awareness and understanding and make it easier for people to access the support they may need to achieve their personal goals in life, learning and work.

In this session you will find out more about neurodiversity in general and will gain an understanding of the breadth and depth of what this term covers.
