Neurodiversity Specialists – 1:1 Support Offer
We are pleased to be working with Neurodiversity Specialists, a UK-based consultancy dedicated to helping individuals and organisations better understand and support neurodivergent people.
They offer practical, confidential 1:1 consultations with an experienced specialist to help individuals explore neurodiversity, discuss challenges, identify strengths, and develop strategies tailored to their needs.
This service is available to adults aged 18 with a diagnosis of Diamond Blackfan Anaemia Syndrome(DBAS), and to parents and carers of a child with DBAS who would like to discuss their child and explore support options.
