Our support
Support for Schools
Originally, Neurodiversity Sandymount teamed up with local schools to start a conversation with children about how they understand neurodiversity to help break the stigma.
Now we have expanded our scope to support schools across Ireland that would like to create more understanding around neurodiversity at the crucial grass roots level, with the youngest members of our society.
Let’s be friends to everyone
We distribute our “Everyone’s Different” story and our wristbands to schools across Ireland. In this way schools can show their support for neurodivergent children in the school environment and beyond. Helping and supporting neurodivergent children to feel included at school and being supported in the local community will help to change the world around them for the better. It is also very empowering for all children to learn they have the power to be inclusive and how important it is, that everyone is different and unique.
We’d love your local school to spread our story and to support you joining the Neurodiversity Movement!
Partnering with community groups
The second most important way to ensure that neurodivergent children feel included in the community is by creating social and sporting activities “for all” that are designed to be inclusive and accommodating.
For example, Neurodiversity Sandymount partnered with GAA Clanna Gael Fontenoys, Railway Union RUFC, the FAI and a gymnastics club to create football, rugby and Gaelic sports and gymnastics classes “for all.” Some classes run independently of the club’s main classes, and where suitable, some are within an existing class.
