Neurodiversity, SEND and Inclusion

Yes. Neurodiversity, SEND and inclusion are important areas within RECAP’s work. RECAP shares accessible information, research and lived-experience perspectives to help parents and professionals develop their understanding.

Neurodiversity-affirming practice recognises neurological differences as part of natural human diversity. Rather than focusing solely on deficits or trying to make individuals appear more neurotypical, it considers strengths, needs, environments, communication, autonomy and appropriate support.

There is no single approach that works for every child or family. Inclusive practice involves listening to individual experiences, understanding needs, considering environmental barriers, working collaboratively with families and using evidence alongside professional judgement. RECAP’s work encourages organisations to consider inclusion through both research and lived experience.

RECAP provides training and workshops across areas connected with education, parenting, neurodiversity and inclusion. Training can also be developed around the needs and context of an organisation.

Yes. RECAP can work with schools, charities, community groups and other organisations to deliver evidence-informed training and facilitate conversations around neurodiversity, inclusion and working effectively with children and families.
