Practical support shaped around the individual.
NISS provides individualised coaching and support that helps neurodivergent people understand their experiences, identify barriers and develop practical approaches suited to their circumstances.
Practical support for everyday participation.
Coaching may focus on the practical demands affecting a neurodivergent person within their work, learning or everyday environment.
The appropriate focus depends on the individual, their circumstances, their priorities and the barriers they are currently experiencing.
