Neurodiversity Celebration Week is a worldwide initiative that challenges stereotypes and misconceptions about neurological differences.
Neurodiversity, or ND, refers to variation in the human brain regarding sociability, learning, attention, mood and other mental functions in a non-pathological sense. Someone who is not neurodiverse may be referred to a ‘neurotypical’.
Neurodiversity Week this year takes place from the 18th March till the 22nd March with a variety of events happening all our campuses which you can check out below.
