Neurodiversity
‘Neurodiversity describes the idea that people experience and interact with the world around them in many different ways; there is no one "right" way of thinking, learning, and behaving, and differences are not viewed as deficits.’
At Carnarvon, we acknowledge and celebrate the many variations in the way our children make sense of the world and believe that those variations make for a richer world.
Below are resources that give more information about neurodiversity. We also have specific information for children on our website. This can be found here.
What is neurodiversity?
This video is an introduction to what neurodiversity is. The term ‘neurodiversity’ refers to the naturally occurring variation in the way our minds work. Although the term also includes neurotypical thinkers, it is commonly associated with a range of conditions or neuro differences, such as dyslexia, ADHD, autism, dyspraxia, Tourette's syndrome, dyscalculia, and others.
