Neurodiversity Celebration Week 2022

In order to educate and positively change the way we think of neurodevelopmental conditions in Ireland, All Abilities Ireland has developed the Neurodiversity week - celebrating all types of brains!

Running from March 21- 25th, a fun week is planned where experts will share tools and strategies for parents and teachers to support their family members living with Autism, ADHD, Dyspraxia and Dyslexia, including parents and adults explaining how their diagnosis changed their lives for the better.

Neurodiversity is the idea that it's normal and acceptable for people to have brains that function or 'are wired' differently from one another. At one time, these ‘conditions’ were treated as problems. However, with understanding neurodiversity, we now have a better and more appropriate way of supporting them. Neurodiversity advocacy focuses on embracing and celebrating neurodivergent brains instead of trying to fix them.

With lots of fun activities for the kids while
