STAND exists to make Scotland a place where neurodivergent children, their families and their carers thrive. Everything we do falls under one or more of our three key pillars: Inclusion, Support, and Empowerment. Inclusion: All neurodivergent children should live in an inclusive and adaptable society and to have the same opportunities to learn, have fun and thrive as neurotypical children do. Support: Families and carers of neurodivergent children should be supported in all aspects of their lives in order to provide an atmosphere, love and understanding for neurodivergent children. Empowerment: Families and carers of neurodivergent children should understand their rights, know how to enforce them, and have the confidence and motivation to do so. 4 We achieve this through practical initiatives like Stay and Play sessions, Whatsapp support groups, workshops, and community partnerships, alongside national advocacy and evidence-sharing at the Scottish Parliament.
