Diversity is often talked about in gender, culture, and socioeconomic conversations. However, neurological differences such as ADHD, autism and dyslexia are being seen as the combination of human genes and environmental factors.
Neuro-Ecological Diversity is taking this concept further.

The human brain is constantly rebuilding its structure based on our environment. This process is known as neuroplasticity and it allows the brain to reset itself by forming new connections throughout life (Kreber, n.d.). However, when the connections are formed and defined by trauma, the reset can become survival-focused and can change how the person sees the world. This is most often seen in Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (C-PTSD). Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is a mental health disorder that results from long term exposure to traumatic situations such as child abuse or domestic violence.
Early mental health intervention can yield positive outcomes and help prevent future issues across various areas of a child’s development. This can include improvements in emotional, behavioral, academic, and social domains.
The primary goal of scientific researchers is to see themselves as objectively exploring the world through their studies. But based on numerous findings, we have found that research studies are inevitably influenced by the biases of the people conducting the work.
