St Catherine's PTA Lecture 2024 - Fin O'Regan
The Senior School PTA is pleased to welcome Prep and Senior parents to a talk by author Fin O'Regan.
This presentation will consider the hidden differences of neurodiversity and neurodivergence which are often overlooked, ignored and misunderstood in terms of Equality, Inclusion and Discrimination.
As in all forms of diversity there is no place for social exclusion or bullying of Neurodiverse individuals and therefore it is imperative that the principles of, tolerance, kindness, care and consideration should be applied to all individuals.
