The Neurodiversity warriors are a organisation of students run by Ms. Sheila.

The dictionary definition of Neurodiversity is: “The wide variety of all human brain differences and functions in a population.”

The Neurodiversity Warriors help children with and without neurodiversity through our school to achieve their best.

That can mean movement breaks to give students extra help in class and every one should have the help they need.

We have also got Lego outside if some children would like a quieter and more peaceful playtime.

Here are some ideas of things you can do, or places you can go, if you feel they would help you during the school day:

THE SENSORY ROOM: This is a nice and calming space with lots of interactive equipment and a carpeted floor.

FIDGETS: These can help you concentrate, focus and listen. However some people can get distracted by fidgets and it stops them from learning.

SENSORY CLASS EQUIPMENT: This can help children [especially with a neurodiversity] and there is some there is some equipment in most classrooms.

What is neurodiversity?

Neurodiversity is a disability that affects the brain, you cannot always tell if somebody has neurodiversity because most of the time it is invisible.

Neurodiversity comes in many different shapes and forms.

Some people have ADHD which can come in two different forms – one where people find it hard to concentrate and the other is where they fidget a lot or find it hard to sit still.

Antoher type of neurodiversity is dyslexia where you find it hard to read and write. Sometimes with dyslexia you can be really good at reading and not so good at writing, and visa versa.

There are also many other neurodiversities.

If you have any questions or are worried about something, the best person to speak to about it is Ms. Sheila or a trusted adult.
