Dyspraxia: Supporting Neurodiversity

Показать описание

Fundraiser Jonathan Levy talks about how he is supported at work.

"Sometimes the simplest things for a person with a condition like #Dyspraxia can be the most challenging...particularly as there is so often a lack of awareness and general understanding as to the difficulties of this hidden disability" - Jonathan Levy.

It is estimated that up to 5% of the UK population are dyspraxic. It relates to issues with physical co-ordination, and for most, organisation of thought. People with dyspraxia may appear clumsy or have speech impediments and might have difficulties with tasks requiring sequencing, structure, organisation and timekeeping.

People with dyspraxia often have good literacy skills and can be very good at creative, holistic, and strategic thinking.

Neurodiversity is a relatively new term that many people may not yet know much about. However, learning more about neurodiversity and taking steps to better support it in workplaces can be hugely beneficial for employers and employees.
