What is Neurodiversity Celebration Week?
Neurodiversity Celebration Week is an initiative that aims to challenge stereotypes and change perceptions of neurological differences. It brings together schools, universities, and organisations to recognise the talents and benefits of being neurodivergent and creates more inclusive and diverse cultures.
Neurodiversity Celebration Week was founded by Siena Castellon in 2018, to change the way learning differences are perceived and create a balanced view which focuses equally on talents and strengths.
