About the Organisation

M2 SPED Awareness

We are a charity whose main aim is to advance the education of the general public and students in London, Birmingham & Leicester in the subject of Special Educational Differences (SPEDs) such as Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, ADHD and Autism. We meet our objectives by through two means:(a) delivering a modular programme through a series of thematic remote sessions to high school and college students which aim to address particular issues in the SPEDs community such as mental health, access to employment and education, as well as challenging perceptions and cultural stigma.(b) Run Neurodiversity Awareness Street Campaigns which raise awareness to public on SPEDs and our charity. At the end of the programme, our year 11 and 12 students are encouraged to deliver a presentation in front of their peers which not only illustrates what they have learned from our programme, but what have they learnt from further reading and further engagements with members of the SPED community.
