Neurodivergence - Nip in the Bud

Neurodivergence

Neurodivergence in children refers to the natural variations in how brains develop and function, leading to differences in thinking, learning, and behavior compared to what is considered "typical". It's an umbrella term encompassing a wide range of neurodevelopmental conditions like autism, ADHD, dyslexia, and dyspraxia. Understanding and supporting neurodivergent children is crucial for their well-being and development

“Neurodiversity” is the concept that there is natural variation in how people’s brains work. The idea is that there’s no “correct” way for the brain to work. Instead, there is a wide range of ways that people perceive and respond to the world, including those with ADHD, autism and learning differences .

Being “neurodiverse” means having a brain that functions differently from the typical brain. Neurodiverse individuals — including those with autism, ADHD, and learning differences—may think, learn, and perceive the world in unusual ways.
