This week is Neurodiversity Celebration Week! Keep an eye out for information about neurodiversity all this week across the school and in assemblies 🧠🧠♥️♥️Cleveden Secondary Neurodiversity Parent Support

Day 2 of #NeurodiversityCelebrationWeek we are learning about ADHD! Did you know ADHD affects around 5% of school aged children (approximately 37,000 pupils in Scotland)

I think ND week should be an odd to double/triple empathy problem and the importance of kindness. Being kind with self and others about the differences that define us, confuse us, benefit us etc. Easy to forget on busy and divisive times too.

Day 3 of #NeurodiversityCelebrationWeek our spotlight is on Dyslexia and Dyspraxia. Did you know that around 545,500 people in Scotland are dyslexic and it is estimated that around 5% of children have dyspraxia?

1 in 10 human beings are dyslexic - 750,000,000 million people This is the universal design that we all ‘think differently’ The Hidden 20% @ClearChannelUK Einstein was also thought to be autistic & possibly ADHD. “Genius is not necessarily Neurotypical”

An ‘I Am Autistic’ Alert Card can be useful when travelling & is a great way to let others, incl police officers, know that you/friend/family member are autistic, & you might need extra time/ assistance in certain situations. ScottishAutism tinyurl.com/2p8ktunj
