✨ Inspired to Make a Difference at Mourne Neurodiversity Practice ✨

We are passionate about creating a supportive, understanding, and empowering space for autistic children, young people, and their families. The team's dedication comes from a deep belief that every individual deserves to be seen, heard, and supported in a way that truly fits their needs.
Here at Mourne Neurodiversity Practice, that passion drives everything we do — from assessment to therapy to family support. We work alongside families to help them feel confident, informed, and fully supported on their neurodiversity journey.
💙 We're proud of the difference we make, and even more proud of the families who place their trust in us.

Honoured to have my latest article featured in Winter edition.

Christmas can be magical — but also overwhelming, especially for children with a PDA profile. In this piece, I explore why festive demands feel so intense, and share practical ways families can create a calmer, more flexible season that truly works for their child.

You’re not doing Christmas “wrong” — you’re doing what works for your family. 💛
