Knowledge Sharing For An Inclusive World

The Research That Informs Our Work

We are journeying towards a world where neurodivergent children, young people and adults can identify in a positive way, and feel a sense of belonging in a society they can connect with, make a meaningful contribution to, and gain validation from. At NeuroTribe UK, our work is informed by neurodivergent-affirming research, in addition to studies which explore the intersectionality of neurodiversity, race, gender identity, and sexual orientation.

Within our Research Hub, you’ll find key articles and research papers written by others which informs the work we undertake and the services we deliver, which pave the way for a society that truly values and celebrates both diversity and inclusion. Click on the buttons to access the reports.
