🧠 South Ayrshire Neurodevelopmental Family Engagement Events – We Want to Hear from You!

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

We want to hear your voice.

Parents and carers play a vital role in shaping how support services can best meet the needs of neurodivergent children and young people. That’s why we’re inviting you to join one of our upcoming family focus groups — to share your experiences, ideas, and insights.

Your feedback will help map existing supports and inform the design of future services across South Ayrshire.

💬 What to Expect

These are relaxed, informal sessions where we welcome your honest thoughts about:

• What’s working well

• What’s missing

• What kind of support you would like to see in the future

  
  

It’s not about having all the answers — it’s about sharing your experience so services can respond more meaningfully to real needs.
