Why these moments matter
Awareness days come and go.Understanding stays.
Every date on this calendar is a door into the same subject: what it is actually like to be a neurodivergent child, or the parent raising one. A toolkit downloaded in Dyslexia Awareness Week still helps at the school meeting in March.
For employers, each moment is a ready-made chance to show the parents in your workforce that they are seen: a poster in the office, a link in the newsletter, a benefit that actually helps at home.
Mark the momentsthat matter at home.
Employers: we can help you bring these moments to your workforce. Parents: the free resources library is open all year round.
