Non-verbal learning Disability (NVLD) is a neurological profile where individuals process information primarily through verbal channels, often missing non-verbal cues. Despite the misleading name, people with NVLD are not nonverbal and may not have traditional learning disabilities. Individuals with NVLD tend to be highly detail-oriented, bright, warm, and caring.

The speaker, Marcia Eckerd, emphasizes the importance of recognizing and celebrating neurodivergent individuals like Tim Wal's son.

Albinism is a rare genetic disorder where the body produces little to no melanin. Melanin is a chemical that is responsible for the pigmentation (colour) of the skin, hair, and eyes. Melanin is also involved in the development and functioning of the eyes and as a result, people with albinism may have vision problems.

For this week's episode of HEnabled, I sat down with the wonderful Maddy to discuss their experience of Higher Education.

Maddy has been studying part-time for a BSc (Honours) in Computing & IT and Business at the Open University since 2019, after Idiopathic Intercranial Hypertension forced them to change their life's trajectory. During Maddy's studies, they acquired an ADHD diagnosis, which deepened their understanding of themselves.

Maddy's story is the perfect example of an unconventional higher education journey. You can listen to it on Spotify via the link below, or wherever you get your podcasts!

When a child’s sensory system is overwhelmed, they can feel unsafe. For some children with autism, this experience is due to their heightened sensitivity to sensory stimuli. In crowded or noisy environments, they may struggle to filter out background noise, making it difficult to focus on important cues or stay alert to potential dangers. They may also have difficulty understanding the social cues of others and interpreting nonverbal language, which can lead to misunderstandings and feelings of vulnerability.
