  • April 2025 - Neurodiversity Celebration MonthApril 1, 2025

    Celebrate Neurodiversity!

    Celebrate neurodiversity.  Neurodiversity makes our world work.  Purple background with celebratory garlands, cake, and party poppers.

    “The most interesting people you’ll find are ones that don’t fit into your average cardboard box. They’ll make what they need. They’ll make their own boxes.”

    – Dr Temple Grandin

    April is Neurodiversity Celebration Month. Depending on how our brains are wired we think, move, process information and communicate in different ways. We use neurodiversity as an umbrella term used to describe alternative thinking styles such as Dyslexia, DCD (Dyspraxia), Dyscalculia, Autism and ADHD. But regardless of labels, neurodiversity is about recognizing those who think differently.and how we benefit from different thinkers. It takes all minds!
