Our Campaign: "Listen to Every Voice"

Did you know that many children with developmental challenges, especially girls, are often overlooked and underdiagnosed? This can lead to a lifetime of missed opportunities and unfulfilled potential. Our "Listen to Every Voice" campaign aims to change that.

Why This Matters

  1. Gender Bias in Diagnosis: Girls often mask their symptoms, leading to underdiagnosis and delayed support. It’s time to recognize and address these differences.
  2. Parental Input: Parents know their children best, yet their voices are often marginalized in the developmental assessment process. We advocate for balanced assessments that value parental insights.
  3. Inadequate Training: Many healthcare professionals lack the training to recognize developmental issues in girls. We call for comprehensive training programs to bridge this gap.
  4. ​Early Intervention: Early support can transform lives. We push for policies that ensure timely and effective interventions in schools.
  5. Funding and Resources: Schools need adequate funding to provide the necessary support for children with developmental challenges. We demand increased investment in our children's futures.

Join Us in Making a Difference

  • Raise Awareness: Spread the word about how developmental issues manifest differently in girls. Share our resources and stories to educate others.
  • Advocate for Change: Support our call for better training for NHS doctors and specialists. Push for policy revisions that give more weight to parental input.
  • Promote Early Intervention: Help us urge the educational system to implement early diagnosis and intervention policies. Every child deserves the best start in life.
  • ​Secure Funding: Join us in lobbying for increased funding for schools. Together, we can ensure every child gets the support they need.

How You Can Help

  • Share Your Story: Personal experiences are powerful. Share your story to help others understand the importance of our campaign.
  • Sign Our Petition: Add your voice to our call for change. Sign our petition demanding better support for children with developmental challenges. (Once it goes live)
  • Donate: Your contributions can help us reach more people and make a bigger impact. Every donation counts.
  • Partner with Us: Organizations like the Artis Foundation and ADHD Foundation can amplify our message. Let’s work together to create lasting change.
