This week our school is celebrating Neurodiversity Week – a time to recognise and celebrate the many different ways children think, learn and experience the world.
Every child’s brain works differently. Some children may find reading easy but struggle with organisation. Others may be brilliant at spotting patterns, building things or thinking creatively.
These differences are part of what makes our school community at Oughton primary and Nursery School rich, interesting and inclusive.
Neurodiversity includes children who may have learning differences such as autism, ADHD, dyslexia, dyspraxia or dyscalculia. These are not “problems to fix” – they are simply different ways of thinking and learning, each with their own strengths and challenges.
Our goal during Neurodiversity Week is to help children understand that everyone’s brain works in a unique way – and that’s something to celebrate
Please see below a newsletter which details more of what the children have been doing to recognise and celebrate their differences and how Parents can discuss the topic at home.
