Neurodiverse Conditions

Neurodiverse conditions, often referred to under the broader concept of "neurodiversity," represent a range of variations in human brain functioning and cognitive processing. These conditions impact how individuals experience, understand, and interact with the world, influencing communication, social interactions, learning, attention, and behaviour. 

Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD):
SPD affects how individuals process sensory information. Some may be hypersensitive to stimuli (e.g., sound, touch), while others may be under-responsive.

SPD is commonly associated with autism but can also occur independently.

Dyslexia:
Dyslexia is a learning difference primarily affecting reading, spelling, and language processing. People with dyslexia may have difficulties with phonological processing, decoding words, and fluency.

Many individuals with dyslexia have strong visual-spatial skills and are often creative problem-solvers.

Dyspraxia (Developmental Coordination Disorder):
Dyspraxia affects motor coordination and planning, leading to difficulties with tasks requiring fine or gross motor skills, such as writing or physical activities. People with dyspraxia may struggle with organisation and sequencing but often excel in creative and strategic thinking.
