Fund free neurodivergence screening for all children
The Government should fund free screening for all primary age school children for neurodivergence. The current cost to individuals and society of unrecognised neurodivergence is high - overrepresentation in school exclusions, the criminal justice system, addiction, mortality, and more.
Neurodivergent (ND) people (ADHD, autistic, dyslexic, dyspraxic, Tourette's etc) have skills that the world needs. Yet many are misunderstood, excluded and even incarcerated. Early identification could maximise human potential, reduce costly interventions, and help improve the UK's productivity.
