💙 Today on #WorldDyslexiaDay, we celebrate the creativity and strengths of dyslexic minds.
At STAND, we support children and families whose learning journeys may be different — but every bit as full of potential. 🌟

✨ Three years ago, we held our first STAND meeting, a few chairs, a lot of hope.
This week, Dani spoke in @ScotParl about our families, our children & inclusion 💬
We’ve come so far because of YOU 🫶
Here’s to standing together for understanding & acceptance 💫
#STAND#family
💬 Families shouldn’t have to go private for ADHD assessment.
Right now, many do — because NHS waits are years long, even after diagnosis.
This isn’t a choice, it’s a last resort.
We need timely NHS assessment & treatment for every child.
#ADHD#ScottishParliament#Inclusion
Dani Cosgrove spoke in @ScotParl about the crisis in autism & ADHD assessment.
In parts of Scotland, kids can’t even be assessed unless they also have a serious mental health condition.
Families are left without support or answers.

Dani Cosgrove, Chief Operating Officer @standuk01 told our Committee on Tuesday of the huge importance of early diagnosis and support for individuals with ADHD or autism.
The evidence was part of our inquiry.
