Neurodiversity refers to an atypical neurological wiring of the brain and subsequent diverse mapping of human brain functions (referring to individuals’ abilities to interact with our environment) onto the brain’s anatomy and neural pathways.
To understand neurodiverse individuals it is important to see the world through their eyes and interpret it through their brains, and that is what we aim to do at Dyslexia Learning and Development.
