Neurodiversity Awareness Reviews

Having personal experiences of neurodiversity I feel it's of high importance that awareness is shared so that there is a greater understanding of neurodiversity and that many myths are dispelled. Everyone has something to give and everyone deserves the same opportunities.

Great content and easy to follow.

Tries to gloss over some complex theoretical details (which are better ignored at this level of training), but gives insufficient emphasis to practical details – such as recognising neurodivergent behaviours and traits in yourself and others, and handling and adapting to such behaviours and traits. Does not recognise or acknowledge that EVERY person has some degree of neurodivergence (in my opinion anyway!). Unless we work in an educational or medical setting, we are unlikely to encounter the more extreme forms of neurodivergence, because (rightly or wrongly) people with those extreme forms are unlikely to be offered roles as our colleagues or to turn up as our customers. Therefore an emphasis in the training on those extreme forms may not be too relevant to most of us. Those working in educational and medical settings are far more likely to encounter the extreme forms in their 'subjects', and would need far more specialised and in-depth training in this area. All that said, this course does a fair job of introducing the subject.

Really informative

Interesting insight into the various issues – I managed to get a better understanding of many of the conditions specified & the stigma's surrounding those

I found the course very good and learnt a lot.
