Neurodiversity in Action debate March 16
The debate panel will be collecting the main points to circulate in the near future with a call for action. Thank you so much for your contributions!
In the mean time the key themes to come out of the debate were the following:
The need for Neurodiverse adults
• To have proper representation by working together for a collective voice – a coherent lobby for a coherent message. This is about what we do and linking up with allies
‘nothing about us, without us’
• The need for greater emphasis on results rather than the process – with changes put in place for alternative testing and assessment in the workplace and in education.
• A need for consistency in systems such as Access to Work, Job Centre Plus and the Disability Student Allowance to ensure that Neurodiverse adults can access this support
• Clarity on the legislation that is in plain English
• Accessibility of information on a web site populated with videos and images
