Neurodiversity
I work with Neurdiverse children and adults to understand their gifts and differences, supporting them to live meaningful lives through art and dance therapy tools as well as ‘rituals and rhythms’ to create harmonious structures. This works both in and out of the classroom or balancing home, work and social life.
There’s a growing push to focus on our brain differences, not deficits. This wider view of "normal" is a big part of neurodiversity. This idea expands how we think of developmental disorders, including attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
Neurodiverstiy holds an umbrella for the concept that certain developmental disorders are normal variations in the brain. And people who have these features also have certain strengths. For example, people with ADHD may have trouble with time management. But they often show high levels of passion, drive, and creative thinking. Often with the right support, they can thrive in their learning, work and home environments.
Besides ADHD, neurodiversity commonly refers to people with:
Dyslexia
Dyspraxia
Other learning disabilities
I work with Children and Woman to understand their diversity, sharing tools and creating structure to support their uniqueness.
