Neurodiversity Training

<This page is currently under revision>

At CodeYourFuture we want to create a welcoming learning environment for everyone. We understand that people who train with us may have had challenging educational experiences in the past. We belive that if we positively celebrate neurodiversity in our group, we can enable everyone to feel like valued members able to share their differences.

As a teacher, Buddy, or Career mentor you will encounter a neurodiverse learner as we are all neurodiverse. This course will enable you to understand and better support our neurodiverse learners.
