A series of resources have been developed aimed at employers to gain greater skills, knowledge and understanding of neurodivergence and how to support neurotypical employees more effectively. These materials aim to provide neurodivergent students with information, tools, and strategies to navigate their educational journey confidently and successfully. We understand that your journey through university may have unique challenges, and we are here to provide the support and resources you need to thrive. We provide opportunities, in-person and virtual, that are designed to help you cope with the stresses, barriers, and challenges that society presents as we raise our neurodivergent children. Children and young people with special educational needs or disabilities can receive additional support for their education, health, and social needs until the age of 25. Special Educational Needs (SEN) support can be provided by school or college, however, an Educational Health & Care (EHC) plan can be put in place for more complex needs.
With our team of human assessors, assistive technology trainers, learning and wellbeing mentors, we make this support easy to access so that more people understand and benefit from their built-in superpower of neurological differences.

In September of last year, two Cardiff Labour Councillors – Jamie Green and Sara Robinson Occupational Health Advisor –had the idea for Cardiff to become a neurodivergent-friendly city.

There are also a wide range of free downloadable resources that have been developed with neurodivergent people, parents/carers and professionals from across Wales.
While these tests don’t provide a diagnosis, they offer a quick and simple way to better understand your experiences and whether it might be helpful to seek a professional assessment. Neurodiversity refers to the natural differences in how people think, process information, learn and interact with the world. Conditions such as autism, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), dyslexia, dyspraxia, and others all fall under the neurodivergent umbrella – and it's estimated that around 1 in 7 people in the UK are neurodivergent (source). Together we can help improve the knowledge, awareness and understanding of neurodivergence to make positive and lasting changes to people’s lives. The DSA provides funding for equipment, software, and personal support workers, if appropriate, to help you overcome any specific challenges related to your autism.
