What the petition asks
We want the Government to require all primary schools to assess students for neurodiversity, so that this is identified at an early stage, and students receive the support they need.
Too many students who are neuordiverse, for example students who are autistic or have attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), are not diagnosed and do not receive the support they need. This can seriously affect their lives.
Mandatory assessments to identify neuordiverse students at an early stage should help ensure that all students receive the support they need.
