Bringing it Forward
Embracing our Neurodiversity
Our Essence
It is a matter of equity. Every human life has the right to an education and an environment that ensures the possibility of reaching self-actualization and self-fulfilment. Our human diversity is great, and yet up to now, our education system has focused on equality of education rather than on equity of education. Equity being viewed through the lens of the whole child, taking into consideration not only their socio-economic differences, but also their unique set of cognitive, socio-emotional, and complex mix of strengths and difficulties that comprise their learning profiles. Our countries, our humanity, desperately needs a shift of focus to move forward.
Our Logo
Our logo clearly illustrates this shift. It represents our overarching motivation: to acknowledge, identify, and address each individual’s diversity and uniqueness. Consisting of three elements: one line representing the individual's strengths, a second one the challenges, and a third intersecting horizontal one that is indicative of the individual's drive to push forward through life, propelling them to combine their challenges and strengths to bring forth their best self. It is important to remember that the challenges or deficits may not be ignored or swept under the rug, but acknowledged and supported. Within the vertex of the arrow, the circle at the end is the coming together of all of the aspects of the individual; the drive, the challenges, and the strengths. This is what we like to call, the sweet spot.
