BASW Celebrates Neurodiversity Celebration Week
Neurodiversity Celebration Week takes place 13-19 March.
The campaign challenges stereotypes and misconceptions about neurological differences, whilst recognising the many talents and advantages of being neurodivergent. It aims to transform how neurodivergent individuals are perceived and supported, while creating more inclusive and equitable cultures that celebrate differences and empower every individual.
