This morning kicks off the first-ever Neurodiversity Week here in Worcester County Public Schools! Neurodiversity Week is a global movement that promotes understanding and acceptance of neurological differences, such as autism, ADHD, dyslexia, and other learning differences. With this initiative, we foster inclusive school environments where all students feel valued and empowered. We invite our school system community to join us in this awareness campaign by participating alongside us for our spirit week activities.
