Neurodiverse Programme

This Programme has been established to ensure that people with Neurodevelopmental conditions have access services that will enable them to live fulfilled lives, and to participate fully within their communities.

The key aims of the Neurodiverse Programme are:

To ensure groups are formed at a local level to support social interaction and employment opportunities
To reduce the number of people waiting for a diagnostic assessment
To develop and enhance the availability of preventative services
To provide appropriate and timely access to mental health and well-being services
To improve child to adult transition services
Further planning in terms of the requirements from the ALNWA Act around a fully inclusive education service
To ensure a common understanding and consistency across partners in the way data is recorded and analysed
Further analysis to plan for the needs of the region’s population
Engagement with people with autism and their carers to inform future service development
Better sharing of information between partner organisations and people, particularly in terms of the services that are available across the region.
