Neurodiversity refers to the recognition and acceptance of neurological differences, such as autism, ADHD, and dyslexia, as natural variations of the human brain. It emphasizes the value of diverse cognitive abilities and promotes inclusivity and understanding for individuals with neurological conditions.

Improving your recruitment successes:
