Introduction to Neuro-Diversity Course
This day provides an introduction to the Neuro-diversity Spectrum, a range of conditions all of which share common characteristics, including: information processing, memory, social difficulties and attention issues. It is increasingly recognised that individuals with one of these conditions are very likely to have over-lapping features of other conditions. Therefore, support strategies need to take this into account.

The training is delivered by Sarah

(publication date Dec 2009).
Conditions discussed during the day include:
• Asperger Syndrome
• Dyslexia
• ADHD
• Dyspraxia
• Tourette Syndrome
• Anxiety Disorders (including Obsessive Compulsive Disorder)
The course aims are to provide a basic understanding of these conditions,
their main characteristics, co-morbidity (over-lap) between each one
and indicators for identifying children and adults who may not have
been diagnosed.
The objective is that participants
will have an increased understanding of the likely behaviours and needs
of these individuals with some basic strategies for supporting those
affected by neuro-diversity.
