🧠 East Ayrshire Neurodevelopmental Pathway Family Engagement Sessions

Do you live in East Ayrshire and care for a child or young person with a diagnosed or suspected neurodevelopmental difference?

If so, we’d love to hear from you.

At NEST, we’re working with NHS Ayrshire & Arran, East Ayrshire Health & Social Care Partnership, and other partners to improve the support available to neurodivergent children, young people, and their families.

To do that well, we need your voice.

We’re inviting parents, carers and family members to join us at one of six local engagement sessions taking place across East Ayrshire.

Whether your child has a diagnosis or you’re just starting to ask questions, your insight is valuable.

💬 Why Attend?

These sessions are a chance for you to:

• Share your lived experience

• Help map out what’s working — and what’s not

• Influence the development of future services

• Connect with others on a similar journey

  
  

Each session is relaxed, informal, and built around listening.

Refreshments will be provided and you’re welcome to bring a friend or support person with you.
