neurodiversity

Neurodiversity is the idea that variations in human brain function are a natural and valuable part of human diversity. The concept challenges the view that neurological differences must always be treated as deficits to be corrected. Instead, neurodiversity recognises that people think, learn, and experience the world in different ways. In education, this perspective encourages systems to adapt environments and teaching methods so that diverse learners can thrive.
