We've been celebrating Neurodiversity in St. Brigid's over the past weeks.
Neurodiversity refers to a world where neurological differences are recognised and respected as all other human variations
Approximately 15-20% of the population has a neurological difference. Instead of labelling people with deficits or disorders, when we use the term neurodiversity, we take a balanced view of an individual’s unique strengths and challenges. Many ‘challenges’ neurodivergent people face are more to do with the environment and systems they are placed in, often designed by a majority population.
