- Neurodiversity Celebration Week is a worldwide initiative that challenges stereotypes and misconceptions about autism and learning disabilities. The initiative has two aims. 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. Neurodiversity Celebration Week is endorsed by over 20 charities and many organizations, including the UN Youth Envoy. Over 1,400 schools and 685,000 students worldwide have signed up to participate in Neurodiversity Celebration Week through themed events, guest speakers and raising awareness. In addition, hundreds of businesses and organisations also take part, including The London Stock Exchange Group, The U.K. Ministry of Defence, Deloitte, Savills, and AstraZeneca. The U.K. Royal Navy created a video in which Second Sea Lord Vice Admiral Nick Hine discussed how being autistic has benefitted him in his naval career. The next Neurodiversity Celebration Week will be on March 13 - 19 2023. (en)
