AP Cymru provide a peer support outreach service for families going through the
diagnostic process, and the crucial months which follow, by pooling together our
lived experience to provide a warm, friendly, and accessible service. The
majority of our staff are Neurodiverse and are parents to Neurodiverse children,
so we are able to provide well-rounded, positive, and understanding information
to parent/carers. Our families can access a wide variety of workshops, training
courses, clinics, guest speakers, and family fun sessions. The waiting lists for
therapies and other services in most areas are incredibly long, therefore the
workshops we facilitate allow parent/carers to access general information from
professionals while they wait for their child to reach the top of the waiting
lists for more individualised programmes. We also provide fun and interactive
workshops for organisations and businesses of all shapes and sizes, creating
opportunities to engage in continued professional development which enhance the
day-to-day experiences of thousands of Neurodiverse people and their families.
This in turn assists with ending the stigma which is still sadly linked to
Neurodiversity within our society. Our workshops and talks are not just for
adults. We provide assemblies and other talks within schools, catering for all
ages and stages from the Early Years Foundation Phase (KS1) through to Key Stage
5.
