What is neurodiversity? videos for children
Two illustrated videos which introduce neurodiversity to primary-aged children, using simple imagery to describe the differences in our brains.
These two simple animations for children, which look at different ways brains work and explain how we may all differ in our behaviours and understanding of the world.
The videos are very short and simple, and could be used as part of a wider discussion about neurodiversity - for example for Neurodiversity Celebration Week.
