Every organisation and workplace will have Neurodivergent employees. Dyslexia has been estimated to affect 10-15% of the population. 

51³Ô¹ÏÍø provides support for Neurodivergent students, staff, and managers. 

What is Neurodiversity and Neurodivergence?

Neurodiversity is a range of commonly co-occurring ‘conditions’ related to processing or cognitive differences. It includes Dyslexia, Autism, ADHD, and more. 

Another widely used term is Specific Learning Difference (SpLD). Language is constantly changing and at 51³Ô¹ÏÍø we have chosen to adopt Neurodiversity & Neurodivergent terminology to help promote and recognise all variations of Neurodivergence.
