Understanding and embracing the concept of neurodiversity is crucial in supporting our children’s unique minds and abilities. Neurodiversity celebrates the natural variations in human brains, recognising that conditions like autism, ADHD, dyslexia, and others are simply different ways our brains process information.

By acknowledging and accepting these differences, we can create an inclusive environment where all children can thrive. Embracing neurodiversity is not just about acceptance; it’s about embracing the beautiful diversity that makes us all truly extraordinary.

Each neurodiverse child is unique, so it’s essential to tailor your support to their specific needs and preferences, so here are some tips that can help support them.
