Just want to say a really heartfelt thank you to Jodie Clark for having us today and for sharing her years of lived experience, research, and knowledge to empower parents to better understand and advocate for their children 💜

Jodie truly inspires me every time I hear her speak — her down-to-earth approach, honesty, and incredible insight makes everything she says so relatable, powerful and hard hitting.

This was our very first webinar, and I honestly feel like we started with the best!

I absolutely love Jodie’s passion and the way she genuinely wants to make a difference. She speaks straight from the heart and pours her soul into everything she does. I can’t recommend her webinars enough — if you ever get the chance to attend one, do it!

If you missed today’s session, you can find Jodie’s on-demand webinars, her research studies, and so many helpful resources on her website — all of which she so generously makes available to everyone on her webpage.

Everyone who was booked onto today’s webinar will receive the recording as soon as possible.

Thank you again, Jodie — the feedback from parents has been absolutely outstanding! 🌟

🌈✨ How absolutely beautiful are these sensory toys donated to us by One Call Insurance! ✨🌈

We’ve used them to create a stunning sensory den, and the children absolutely love it! 💖

🏠 The glow houses with little people are perfect for imaginative sensory play.

🚂 The STEAM discovery centre has been a huge hit — it offers endless opportunities for balancing, rolling, and creative exploration, enhancing any sensory or block play area.

🌈 The fibre optic interactive rug has quickly become a favourite — it lights up as the children move and play, creating a calming, magical experience for those who want to relax away from the hustle and bustle. So many parents have commented on how beautiful it is!

🌟 The light-up tabletop spinners give fantastic visual input and mesmerising movement.

🧱 And the light-up LEGO has been a massive success — the children loved building glowing creations together!

We’re so grateful to One Call Insurance for their incredible generosity — these resources have truly transformed our sensory space and brought so much joy to the children we support. 💫💜

🌟 How amazing is this! 🌟

Hosted by the incredible Danielle Bryce, who so kindly supports our charity by donating 100% of her book sales to us — she’s now launching a powerful new documentary about late-diagnosed autistic adults. 💜

We know Danielle has poured her heart and soul into this project, and we literally cannot wait to see it! 🎬✨
Please show her some love and support — this is going to be something really special! 💫

Something is coming!

For the first time, late diagnosed neurodivergence is entering public consciousness yet waiting lists are years long, and real reform still feels out of reach.

UNSEEN is a new documentary project that dives into this hidden crisis. It exposes and explores the systems that keep millions of people invisible, asking what it will take for society to truly see and understand neurodivergent lives.

This is the next conversation about visibility, equality and change.
