What does the word Neurodivergent actually mean - and why has it become such an important part of how we understand children?
In this episode, we explore the concept of neurodivergence, what it includes, and why it can shift the way we think about learning, behaviour, and support. This episode focuses on moving beyond labels and toward a more complete understanding of how different brains works - and what that means for supporting children at school, at home, and in everyday life.
