It's Neurodiversity Celebration Week! Neurodiversity is a buzzword right now for sure, but what is it and why is it such an important concept?

Neurodiversity is the idea that people think, learn and do things differently, and that these differences are not wrong, they are a part of the natural variation in human brains.

The neurodiversity movement is about breaking down stigma around diagnoses like ASD, ADHD, dyslexia, tourettes and many more. Previously these diagnoses were considered atypical, disordered or other. Therapies were focused on "fixing" the differences that came along with each with the aim of bringing a person closer to what is considered neurotypical. Instead, the neurodivsity movement teaches us that differences don't have to be weaknesses, and that these differences are normal.

As therapists working with people with neurodiverse brains, it's helping us to take a critical look at the therapy approaches we use and the goals we target. How do we best build communication skills in a way that honours neurodiversity and doesn't try to quash it? How do we build our clients up, as they are, instead of sending the message they need to "look normal"? We haven't got all of the answers, but we're excited to continue to learn and grow.

We like to compare children learning to talk to the process of building a tower. Think of each piece that makes up the tower as a skill. Before the next pieces can be added, the ones they are built upon need to be in place and stable. If too many pieces are wobbly or missing, the tower can only be built so high.

It's much the same for learning to communicate. Before a child can add their talking piece to the tower, they need to have the imitation piece solidly in place to build upon, and before this they must have the connection piece set, and so on.

This is why, when you are working with your child on learning to talk, it is often the missing pieces or skills that come way before talking that are the most important to foster.
