Hello and a warm welcome

A photo of Laura. Laura is a white woman with shoulder-length strawberry blonde hair, blue eyes, and multi-coloured glasses, wearing a black t-shirt with yellow line-art of swallows flying within a circle, standing in front of a very colourful graffitied wall. She is smiling and looks very happy!

Support of a Neurodivergent person must be in-line with our traits and culture in order to be SAFE, VALID and MEANINGFUL.
