Rapper Giggs opens specialist school for neurodivergent children in Kent
The London MC co-founded the centre after struggling to get his autistic children properly assessed.
Giggs has launched a specialist school and assessment centre for neurodivergent children in Kent, according to The Guardian. The rapper said the project was inspired by his personal experience navigating the assessment process for his own autistic children, describing the situation as "a mess."
The launch came shortly after Giggs' fiancée Valerie gave birth to their daughter Noa in New Jersey. Giggs livestreamed the event from a US hospital before returning to London to perform as a guest with Jay-Z at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
