Neurodiversity

Neurodiversity is a concept that embraces the natural variations in brain functioning, acknowledging that everyone experiences the world in different ways, without labeling them as "normal" or "abnormal."

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)

A spectrum of neurodevelopmental conditions marked by differences in social interaction, communication, and behaviors. People with ASD often excel in specific interests, focus, or memory skills.

ADHD

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is characterized by symptoms of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. Individuals with ADHD may have unique strengths in creativity and problem-solving.

Dyslexia

A learning disorder affecting language processing, making reading, writing, and spelling challenging. People with dyslexia often demonstrate strong visual-spatial skills and creative thinking.

Twice-Exceptionality (2e)

Twice-exceptional (2e) individuals are both gifted and neurodivergent. This combination of high abilities with neurodiverse traits, like ADHD or autism, brings unique strengths and complexities.

Executive Function Challenges

Common among neurodivergent individuals, executive function challenges impact planning, organization, and task management. Building strategies for structure can improve focus and productivity.
