When as parents and carers we were looking for a positive way for our children to identify as neurodiverseA group of people whose brain functions differently from the (usually neurotypical) perception of what is “normal”. For example, those with autism, Asperger’s syndrome, dyslexia, dyscalculia, dyspraxia, ADHD, OCD or Tourette Syndrome. , Steve Silberman’s book NeuroTribes provided an uplifting, life-affirming framework and subsequently inspired the name and approach of our organisation.
When NeuroTribe UK began in 2018, we were on a mission to enable every child and young adult with a special educational need to thrive socially, emotionally, and academically. We have long known that, to achieve our goal, one of the best ways is to work with families and adults, as well as directly with children and young people in our community. This was the initial focus for our work as we began the journey to discover where NeuroTribe UK could have the most significant impact.
Throughout our journey, our experiences have lead us to realise the necessity of working with and for our cultural diverse communities as an equally important focus, bringing the viewpoints of intersectionalityThe way multiple forms of discrimination (such as racism, sexism, and classism) combine, overlap, or intersect especially in the experiences of marginalised individuals or groups. and socio-economic inclusionThe act of including a person as part of a group with equal opportunities, equity and resources, who might otherwise be excluded or marginalised. to the forefront of what we do.
Equally, we have found that working with schools, colleges, businesses and organisations that serve our community, through training, consultancy and CPD, has a greater impact when delivered alongside our clinical supervision and therapeutic services.
