A neurodiversity and inclusion specialist based in Cornwall has helped steer an award-winning AI education platform to one of the highest honours in global education technology.

Hi! I’m Charlotte, and as a neurodivergent person, I rely a lot on my phone to keep me organised. Using apps and alarms helps me maintain habits...

I think neurodiverse profiles are still very much misunderstood. People seem to think that dyslexia means you can’t read, dyscalculia means you can't count, and dyspraxia means you can’t… keep your balance? But having a neurodiverse profile is far more than that...

Kirsty is a 3rd year nursing student who came to us just 10 weeks ago for specialist study skills support, often referred to as “dyslexia / dyspraxia support” or accessing a “SpLD tutor” – Specific Learning Difficulties tutor.

Here at Diverse Learners, we do our best to raise awareness of dyslexia and dyspraxia every day. This blog ends a week of tweetchats, tweets, Facebook posts and videos to do our bit for Dyslexia Awareness week ending on Sunday, the 8th of Oct 2017.

Over the weekend, I (Rosie) Skyped Kerry Pace from Diverse Learners and her daughter, Phoebe, about our joint blog for Dyspraxia Awareness Week.

This guest blog is by Janice St John (@jstjohnmatthews), AHP CPD Lead, Senior Lecturer at the University of the West of England, and an MRI/CT Radiographer, who also happens to have dyslexia.

We extend our thanks to Tracey for her guest blog for #UniMentalHealthDay on 18th February 2015. The event is co-ordinated by the University Mental Health Advisers Network (UMHAN) and promotes the disclosure of mental health issues to reduce stigma and increase access to support.

Michelle is a specialist study-skills tutor and mentor at Diverse Learners, where we send our student nurses who need support with drug calculations. She is also a retired midwife and founder of UniSkills, where this blog was first posted.

A little letter of advice and encouragement, along with the real story of nursing education. Heartfelt, if slightly tongue-in-cheek, wisdom from a Newly Qualified Nurse (NQN) who has been there, done that, and got the nice blue uniform…

I had a very enjoyable afternoon yesterday (Thursday, 27th March) at the British Dyslexia Association Conference. The conference theme of the impact of innovation was an ideal way to showcase the projects I have been part of with Jane Wray, research fellow in the Faculty of Health and Social Care at the University of Hull.

I am presenting at the British Dyslexia Association International Conference 2014 on Thursday, 26 March. I’m also presenting a poster at the Thursday evening session, which includes interactive elements that allow delegates to Skype with students who use Diverse Learners.

When I was at school, I was told I was obviously bright, but lazy and didn’t try hard enough. I was told this again and again throughout all my years in school. The teachers told my parents this and convinced them, too.

The team at Diverse Learners strongly believe that utilising technology is, for many learners, the gateway to increased productivity, empowerment and independence, which in turn results in increased confidence and self-belief.
