A free programme for mainstream primary schools to introduce pupils aged 8-11 years to the concept of neurodiversity, and how it impacts our experiences at school.

THINK: Develop more positive attitudes towards neurodiversity and neurodivergence.
-
DO: Increase individuals’ positive and inclusive actions within the school community.
