Neurodiversity

Neurodiversity is a term that seems to be everywhere these days. And gradually, parents are using this term to describe their children and young adults with special needs.

In simple terms, neurodiversity means that there are many differences in the way people’s brains work. There’s no “proper” or “improper” way. Instead, there is a wide range of ways that people perceive and respond to the world, and these differences should be embraced.

The term neurodiversity was coined in the 1990s to fight stigma and promote acceptance of people with autism. But it also includes other conditions that involve neurological differences, such as Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), which affects people's behaviour and can be diagnosed in childhood or adulthood, and learning disorders like dyslexia; a learning disability which affects skills involved in reading, spelling and writing, and dyscalculia; which also affects a person’s specific and persistent difficulty in understanding numbers, leading to mathematics difficulties.

Inclusive Soccer Academy

Mulan Smart Educational Centre recently launched the inclusion soccer academy which seeks to harness and nurture hidden talents in children with special needs.

Managers of the school believe that diversity and inclusion are fundamental principles that should be upheld in all aspects of society, including education.

In the changing world, diversity refers to the representation of individuals from different backgrounds, abilities, and experiences. Inclusion, on the other hand, focuses on creating an environment where everyone feels valued, respected, and supported.

When these principles are applied to special needs education, it does not only provides equal opportunities for individuals with disabilities but also contributes to the overall growth and development of society as a whole.
