A group of teachers, psychologists and early childhood educators are asking parents and schools to wise up to the signs of neurodiversity in our young people.
Around one in ten New Zealand children have an invisible brain development disability that can make classroom life anywhere from difficult to insurmountable - that's three kids in a class of 30.
Acorn Charitable Trust is using Neurodiversity Celebration Week (18-24 March) to raise awareness of the common signs of neurodiversity and equip people with the tools to help kids overcome.
