Our agency empowers each person to take control of their lives, as well as help them to become aware of what they deserve and how they should be treated.

Neurodiversity

Everyone’s brain develops in a unique way

The term coined by Judy Singer, refers to a range of neuro conditions, often associated with Autism, as well as; ADHD, Dyslexia, Downs Syndrome, and other intellectual or developmental disabilities.

Neurodivergent means having a brain that works differently from the average or “neurotypical” person. This may be differences in social preferences, ways of learning, ways of communicating and/or ways of perceiving the environment.

It points to the fact that every human has a unique nervous system with a unique combination of abilities, strength and needs.
