I really appreciated you hosting this event, it was well structured but informal and friendly. I learnt a lot and it was so valuable to hear from people with lived experiences, from different perspectives within that too. At times it was difficult to hear and very moving. The conversation with the professionals and the parents at the end of the day really highlighted how families have to struggle for the appropriate support and understanding and often feel unheard.

Back at the office we spoke about what we needed to take forward in our practice and we've already implemented some easy but tangible ways we can make some upcoming sessions more supportive for people who might need them.

I liked the creative workshop opportunity too, the discussions were very valuable for me, to be able to ask questions directly and deepen my understanding. Thanks very much for seeing the need for this event.

The event gave us time to think and reflect on our practice, which we are always seeking to improve. It reinforced to me the value of listening and asking the right questions, not assuming, and making sure that when people do get involved with our org that we don't add to the frustrations ( and worse)  that people can have because of their neurodiversity.
