What is Neurodiversity?
Neurodiversity recognizes and celebrates the natural variations in how we think, learn, and interact with the world. Rather than viewing conditions like Autism, ADHD, Dyslexia, and OCD as deficits, neurodiversity embraces these differences as valuable aspects of human diversity.

Therapy plays a crucial role, offering both individual and group support tailored to each person’s unique needs.
