School resources
In 2024, a new project, Partnership for Inclusion of Neurodiversity in Schools, or ‘PINS’ started. The PINS project, is a national program that aims to help neurodiverse children in schools. It focuses on making schools more inclusive and supportive for children with different learning styles, including those with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), autism, dyslexia, and other conditions. The project works by working with local authorities, schools, and parent groups to improve understanding and support for neurodiversity.
As part of the project, we have gathered and produced information, videos, links and podcasts that may be useful for schools, parents, carers and partners. We hope you find them useful.
