Inclusion for all Neurotypes

Our courses cater for Neurodivergent and Neurotypical students.

We embrace neurodiversity by understanding that neurodivergent individuals may perceive and process the world differently.

Rather than focusing solely on deficits, our paradigm and teaching methods champion a strength-based perspective regarding these conditions, valuing the unique abilities and talents of each individual while still acknowledging and addressing individual challenges.
