Two educational videos, encouraging greater understanding for and inclusion of children who are neurodivergent, was launched this week by Neurodiversity Ireland, as the charity calls for more support for the parents and families of neurodivergent children.
Founded by a group of neurodivergent parents of neurodivergent children in early 2022, Neurodiversity Ireland aims to create a truly inclusive society where children can access the necessary support to participate in their community without barriers, to reach their full potential. The group started in the Dublin village of Sandymount, but has become a nationwide movement.
The videos, which can be downloaded from the Neurodiversity Ireland website and shown in schools or at home, were launched in the company of Anne Rabbitte TD, Minister of State for Disability at the Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth.
At this week’s launch, Dairine Cullen, Director of Neurodiversity Ireland, said that educational content was being produced by the charity in response to increasing demand for support and information.
“In the past year alone, we have had so many schools reaching out to us for advice on how to support students who might be neurodivergent. Our videos are a good way to start the conversation about understanding neurodivergence, how neurodivergent children can be supported in their school, and how to create an inclusive environment for all children,” said Dairine.
