Embracing neurodiversity…
The neurodivergent mind offers a unique approach to the professional world. In this blog, we'll explore a variety of topics, offering insights, strategies, and tips to help you thrive in your career. While many of the posts are written with the education professional in mind, we'll also be including content that applies to a wider neurodivergent audience.
To declare, or not to declare. That is the question.
