Neurodiversity exists differently in all of us. Although these neurological differences may present certain challenges, they also signify remarkable abilities. Those abilities are often overlooked because of the focus placed on weaknesses.
At Colourfield, we believe that every person is unique and has the potential to achieve greatness. Our coaches are well placed to nurture and bring out that potential by remediating weaknesses and building on strengths.
At Colourfield we have proven success through the provision of services tailored to the needs of our customers:

Mentoring and coaching for young people at risk or disengaged from education
Neurodiversity & Dyslexia
At Colourfield we believe that neurological differences such as dyslexia, dyspraxia, AD(H)D, ASD (Aspergers) are the result of normal, natural variation in the human condition. We prefer Ross Cooper’s definition of dyslexia as it captures the spirit of the social model of dyslexia.
“We would argue that dyslexia is an experience that arises out of natural human diversity on the one hand and a world on the other where the early learning of literacy, and good personal organisation and working memory is mistakenly used as a marker of ‘intelligence’. The problem here is seeing difference incorrectly as ‘deficit’.“ (Dr Ross Cooper, 2006)
