A group of students who are neurodiverse and have learning conditions like dyslexia, autism or ADHD want schools to better accommodate their needs

The Young Neurodiversity Champions group are meeting with MP's today from across the house, demanding more action plans and programmes in schools for students to ensure they don't fall through gaps in the education system.

Māni Dunlop spoke to one of the groups leaders, Nellie McKegg, who told her about the struggle for neurodiverse students.
