To celebrate Neurodiversity Celebration Week 2023, DEC form tutors delivered a session on ‘Celebrating our unique strengths and differences’. Pupils learnt more about what neurodiversity is, why we celebrate Neurodiversity Celebration Week, and what they can do to help others. Pupils watched videos to give them a greater insight into Autism and Dyspraxia and were signposted to additional resources on the Neurodiversity Celebration Week website – https://www.neurodiversityweek.com/introduction
One of our DEC Values is Respect, and it is important that our pupils understand that neurological variations in the human brain are natural and that we must be respectful of other people and their unique strengths and talents.
