MIND:
THE DIFFERENCE
Our world is diverse in so many ways. Our brains think and perceive the world in diverse ways too. Children with neurodevelopmental differences perceive the world in very unique ways – which need to be understood and supported in order for that child to flourish. Neurodiversity Foundation was created to help identify and support neurodivergent children and their families in under-resourced communities with limited access to such services.
OUR FOCUS
Neurodiversity Foundation is a non-profit organization that supports neurodivergent children, their families from under-resourced and structurally disadvantaged communities.
Our primary focus is children who present with early symptoms of problems across different aspects of childhood development. These may include challenges in general development, social skills, language and communication, attention, activity, motor coordination, mood and sleep. Such children may be diagnosed with conditions on the Autism Spectrum, AD/HD, specific learning disorders or other problems. Research increasingly highlight that these types of challenges overlap, and children with difficulties in one such area are more likely to also experience difficulties in other neurodevelopmental areas. Therefore, comprehensive assessment and coordinated interventions are needed to understand and support these children.
Neurodiversity Foundation is the not-for-profit partner of Neurodiversity Centre and is guided by the Gillberg Neuropsychiatry Centre in Gothenburg, Sweden.
We are a registered NPO and PBO (NPO206-49; PBO930035988) with Section 18A tax status.
OUR SERVICES
We aim to empower children and individuals with neurodevelopmental differences to thrive and take their rightful place in society.
We focus on early identification, providing research-based information and evidence-based interventions and support to these children and their families.
We also offer group training to parents, ECD teachers and other community role players.
