One of the main things that attracted me to the chief executive role at Salvesen Mindroom is that I care passionately about neurodiversity and our mission to ensure all minds in our society are included.
Between 10 and 15% of the global population are thought to be neurodivergent, so it is an issue that impacts a large proportion of the population, yet interestingly, it is not given nearly as much prominence as other equalities issues.
The topic of neurodiversity is incredibly important, given that it is woven throughout all strands of society. In education, the economy, health and justice we have much to do to ensure we don’t assume that one size fits all.
