Lesson 1: Introduction to Neurodiversity

Welcome to the first lesson of our Neurodiverge education series. This introductory module explores the foundational concept of neurodiversity and how it informs inclusive practices in education, the workplace, and everyday life.

• Definition: What does neurodiversity mean?
• Perspective: Moving from disorder to diversity
• Recognition: Identifying strengths in cognitive differences

Neurodiversity is a paradigm shift that promotes the idea that neurological differences should be recognized and respected as a social category, similar to gender, ethnicity, or sexual orientation. Embracing this viewpoint empowers individuals and enriches society.
