Neurodiversity Ireland is a national registered charity dedicated to celebrating different brains and unique thinkers and building truly inclusive communities across Ireland. Founded by a community of neurodivergent parents of neurodivergent children, the organisation has grown into a nationwide movement committed to ensuring that neurodivergent children and their families belong, are understood and are supported in everyday life.

At the heart of Neurodiversity Ireland is a vision of an Ireland where neurodivergent children — and their families — have the freedom to live the lives they choose, fully supported and connected within their communities. The charity focuses on supporting neurodivergent children and families, educating the wider community, and advocating for more equitable, neuroinclusive environments.

The organisation does this through a variety of programmes and supports, including the establishment of Ireland’s first Sensory Centre — a welcoming, child-centred space for play, exploration and occupational therapy–guided activities — as well as play-based afterschool clubs, summer camps, webinars, educational resources for parents and schools, and community initiatives that nurture connection and belonging.

Neurodiversity Ireland also works with schools, local groups and organisations to help them become more neurodiverse-friendly, offering tools, training and supports that model inclusion in real life — from classrooms to community halls. The charity’s message is simple and powerful: everyone belongs
