Progress Celebrates Neurodiversity Celebration Week 2026

This week, from 16–22 March, Progress Care Solutions is joining organisations across the UK to celebrate Neurodiversity Celebration Week 2026, an annual initiative recognising and celebrating the many ways people think, learn, and experience the world.

At Progress, the week provides an opportunity to highlight the unique strengths of neurodivergent individuals and reflect on the organisation’s ongoing commitment to inclusion across its fostering, care, and support services. Neurodiversity celebrates the natural differences in human brains, including conditions such as autism, ADHD, dyslexia, and dyspraxia, and focuses on the talents, creativity, and perspectives these differences bring to communities, workplaces, and homes.

“Neurodiversity is about recognising and valuing the many ways people experience the world,” said Claire Rogers, Managing Director, Progress Care Solutions. “At Progress, we work with children, young people, and families every day, and we see firsthand how different ways of thinking bring incredible insight, empathy, and problem-solving skills. Neurodiversity Celebration Week is a chance to shine a light on these strengths and remind everyone that inclusion is a year-round commitment.”

Progress has been sharing stories and insights from staff and carers who have personal or professional experience of neurodiversity, demonstrating how understanding and support can transform lives. The organisation encourages its teams, carers, and the wider community to take part in activities, learn more about neurodivergence, and celebrate the contributions of neurodivergent people in every part of society.

“Every mind is different, and every mind has something to offer,” added Tina Bhardwaj, Progress’ Head of Children’s Services. “By recognising and supporting these differences, we can build a culture where everyone can thrive.”
