Rother District Council are promoting Neurodiversity Celebration Week. When it comes to inclusion, neurodiversity refers to a world where neurological differences are recognised and respected as all other human variations.

Neurodiversity Celebration Week is a worldwide initiative that challenges stereotypes and misconceptions about neurological differences.

Together, let’s change the narrative to understand, accept, and celebrate neurodiversity!

Depending on how our brains are wired we think, move, process information and communicate in different ways. Many people in our community use neurodiversity as an umbrella term used to describe alternative thinking styles such as Dyslexia, DCD (Dyspraxia), Dyscalculia, Autism and ADHD.

But regardless of labels, neurodiversity is about recognising those who think differently. And no matter whether you are a school, university or organisation you can benefit from different thinkers! Approximately 15-20% of population has a neurological difference.
