Why is our REACH service so important?

Listen to a local mum who has been using the service for around a year tell you how it has supported her and her family.

Please share, donate or nominate us for partnerships to help us reach our target.

This week is Neurodiversity Celebration week.

The aim of the week is to change the narrative around difference and help the world to understand, value and celebrate the talents of neurodiverse minds.

At Mothers for Mothers, some of the team are neurodiverse and present a spiky profile.

This doesn't mean they look like hedgehogs!

This means, they have a particular strength or talent in one area but really struggle in another e.g. be exceptionally good at music but struggle with socialising with people.

Normally when Autism, Dyslexia or ADHD are mentioned in the media, the focus is on the difficulties rather than the strengths.

This post is going to 'flip' the narrative by boldly showcasing the strengths.

We are neurodivergent and these are our super powers!

Calling all SEND families!!

Have you noticed that anyone working in the world of SEND loves an acronym and/or loves reeling out SEND specific jargon as if they are song words to a Harry Styles song?
YES?

Well, don't worry...

Our SEND Peer Support worker is here to go through the commonly used SEND terms. Each week, she will upload an information sheet on a particular SEND specific term or acronym which you can refer to.

This week, it is Neurodiversity. It is a phrased coined by Australian sociologist Judy Singer who merged the words Neurological and Diversity. This week it is Neurodiversity Celebration week.
