Neurodiversity Advocates - also known as 'ND Advocates'
Neurodiversity is a word used to explain the unique ways different brains work. At Woodbridge, we celebrate differences and always strive to ensure our neurodivergent community feel included in all aspects of school life they wish to be.
Mrs Slater is our school's ND Advocate and our staff have received the 'Making Sense of Autism' training from the Autism Education Trust.
If you would like further information about how we support neurodiversity in our school, please contact Mrs Slater (SENDCO) via Class Dojo or the school office telephone number.
Why Autism is a Difference not a Deficit
Our brand new education video explains Why Autism is a Difference not a Deficit. While there may be some shared characteristics, every autistic person is unique, with their own strengths, differences and needs. We champion a world where being different is something to be celebrated and where all autistic learners experience a positive education that supports their wellbeing.
what is ADHD?
Short animation explains ADHD through the eyes of amazing ADHD'er Molly aimed at school children to help them understand the condition beyond the misconceptions that most adults have these days. It is important to note that everyone's experience is different and medication does not work or may not be an option for everyone.
Let's talk about ADHD
This animation discusses what it means to have Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). It was co-produced by children with ADHD, their families and carers, and health professionals in the field. It is based on research evidence as well as ideas from children and individuals with lived experienced of ADHD.
