How does Neurodiversity Celebration Week (NSW) support those with neurodivergences?
So Neurodiversity Celebration Week aim to support those with neuro differences by raising awareness around the neuro differences such as A DHD, autism, dyslexia, dyspraxia, and dyscalculia. We also have a list of panellists that join our events who either have lived experience or experts in their relevant fields who are there to raise awareness around neurodiversity and provide support around neurodivergent individuals. They also have tips and practises that can help be implemented at the home school and also within organisations.
How can I make topics around neurodiversity fun and accessible for younger students?
Talking about neurodiversity is always fascinating and can be fun. Of course, when you're catering to younger audiences, it's about making sure that the formatting is more accessible. For example, what you could do is create a video explanation, or you could use things like visual aids or both as well. You want to make sure that the language you're using is clear and also in an accessible format, and you're accommodating different learning preferences that way that you can make sure that you're catering towards different learning needs as well. That can also mean that the information being provided is inclusive as well.
