About the Campaign:
SOSNEEDS Nigeria’s Neurodiversity School Drive Awareness Campaign is a pioneering initiative that seeks to revolutionize the way we think about neurodiversity.
By launching a comprehensive Neurodiversity Curriculum, we aim to empower neurotypical students to understand, respect, and include their neurodivergent peers.
This campaign is not just about adding a new layer to students’ education; it’s a call to action to build a society where inclusivity is a shared responsibility.
Our curriculum is designed to span four weeks, introducing students to the concept of neurodiversity, breaking down common misconceptions, and learning about the strengths of neurodivergent individuals. We’re reversing traditional roles, tasking neurotypical students with understanding, accommodating, and celebrating cognitive differences.
This shift is crucial in breaking down stigmas and barriers that neurodivergent individuals face daily. By valuing neurodiversity, we’re building a more inclusive society that respects all types of minds.
