Why Neurodiversity Matters in Schools

At its core, neurodiversity recognises that there is no single “right” way for the brain to work. Just as we value cultural, linguistic, and social diversity, we should also value the different ways students learn, think, and process the world around them. In practice, neurodiversity includes students with conditions such as autism, ADHD, dyslexia, and other learning differences. These students often bring unique strengths such as creativity, analytical thinking, or problem-solving that can enrich the classroom community when nurtured in the right environment. 

For educators, understanding neurodiversity goes beyond providing additional support for SEN students. Explore this further in our accredited course.
