The first is to encourage schools to recognise the strengths and talents of neurodivergent students who think and learn differently, including students who are autistic, dyslexic, dyspraxic, or who have ADHD. The second aim is to address the lack of training classroom teachers have in identifying and supporting their students with special educational needs by providing them with free resources.
