What the petition asks
Currently few schools have specialist provision for neurodivergent students in public education. Diagnosis for the different types of neurodivergence is not an option for those who cannot afford to pay privately.
The Government should provide additional funding and support to enable schools to introduce compulsory neurodiversity diagnosis (i.e. autism, ADHD, dyslexia, dyspraxia, bipolarity) identification and support in all publicly funded schools.
