Understanding Neurodiversity
'Neurodiversity' is a phrase first introduced in the 1980’s by Judy Singer.
Neurodiversity is a term used to describe a range of neurological differences including:
-
Dyslexia
-
Dyspraxia (also called Developmental Coordination Disorder, or DCD)
-
Dyscalculia
-
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
-
Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC).
These conditions very often co-occur and many symptoms overlap, as shown in the diagram on the right.

There are many strengths in neurodiversity.
