 Jeff BOURMAN (Eastern Victoria) (10:02): This week is national Neurodiversity Celebration Week. Starting in 2018 and running from 16 to 20 March, Neurodiversity Celebration Week is a worldwide initiative that challenges stereotypes and misconceptions about neurological differences. It aims to transform how neurodivergent individuals are perceived and supported by providing schools, universities, organisations and others around the world with the opportunity to recognise the many skills and talents of neurodivergent individuals, whilst also creating more inclusive and equitable cultures to celebrate differences and empower every individual. I want to give a special shout-out to all the students at the Rossbourne School, Victoria’s only dedicated neurodiverse high school.
