- Neurodivergent describes people whose brain differences affect how their brain works
- The word “Neurodivergent” is not a medical term. It exists as a way to describe people using words other than “normal” and “abnormal”
- Some Neurodivergent people struggle because of systems or processes that limits their abilities to demonstrate their strengths or that create new or more intense challenges for them
- For someone who is Neurodivergent, an accommodation is a way to accept that they are different or have challenges, and give them skills to succeed
- Common conditions of those who are described as Neurodivergent:
- Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
- Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
- Down Syndrome
- Dyslexia
- Sensory Processing Disorders
- Tourette Syndrome
Here at NRS|LS, our Pediatric Section is trained to address Neurodivergence in a subjective and objective manner, via Neuropsychological Examination and Treatment.
