What is Neurodiversity?

Harvard Medical School define neurodiversity as a framework to understand how people experience and interact with the world around them in many different ways (Baumer, 2021). The World Health Organisation also explain that this is highly influenced by brain functioning (2024).  

There is no correct way to think, learn and behave. Differences are usually neurodevelopmental in origin, understood as brain and nervous system preferences and personal characteristics.

In EPT Clinic, we use brain-body clinical practice, whereby each young person’s unique brain-body combination is considered, which informs how we support them. We base our practice on developmental psychology and neuroscience.
