Free Resource for Neurodivergent Parents and Carers

We are delighted to announce that PANDAS have collaborated with Neurodivergent Birth CIC to provide a new FREE online resource for neurodivergent people (including professionals and their networks) to help better understand how to access and advocate for support, including knowing your rights and what “reasonable adjustments” are and how they can help.

As Victoria White, Founder and Director of ND Birth says

“We created this resource as a guide to supporting neurodivergent perinatal mental health by understanding and managing sensory and executive functioning challenges, and by communicating support needs with health professionals and supporters in line with equality legislation. We hope it will provide much-needed validation for neurodivergent people and their perinatal experiences.”

Annie Belasco, CEO of The PANDAS Foundation adds

“PANDAS Foundation have noticed an increase in people who may be neurodivergent struggling with their pregnancy and beyond journeys because of a ‘one size fits all’ model, for their healthcare. Most noticeably, communication styles, and a lack of adjustments made to make the processes easy to understand and process. I am delighted we are able to start to acknowledging the support that parents should have to meet their needs.”
