What is the PINN Forum?

The PINN (Practitioners Meeting Neurodivergent Needs) Forum is a unique space that facilitates collaboration, resource sharing, and the development of innovative strategies to enhance the support available for autistic service users and other neurodivergent needs.

The PINN Forum meets twice a year and might be the space for you if…

Helping Professional

You are a practitioner working with autistic and other neurodivergent service users.

North Devon

Your organisation or service has a base anywhere across North Devon.

Your Services

You cater for teen or adult autistic service users, and other neurodivergent needs.

You don’t need to be a neurodiversity ‘specialist’ – this is about building connections and learning.

Your participation will help shape the future of neurodiversity advocacy and service provision in Northern Devon.

Get Involved: If you or your organisation have any questions, or would like to be added to the PINN forum mailing list, please contct us at katie@waymakers.co.uk for more information.
