The Neurodiversity Support Hub Advice Line

The Neurodiversity Support Hub run by ADD-vance offers support, signposting and guidance on a whole range of issues relating to Neurodiversity (including ADHD and Autism). The Hub is for parents, carers and professionals across Hertfordshire. Phonelines, emails and messages are answered by a team of specially trained call handlers who are also experts by experience as parents and carers of neurodivergent children and young people. Your child doesn't need a diagnosis for you to use this service. 

The Support Hub will: 

  • Listen to your situation and offer you strategies, signposting and support tailored to your individual circumstances
  • Help you to support your child’s development and understand their different way of thinking
  • Be a non-judgemental listening ear when you need it

The hub team can help with questions relating to ADHD and Autism, anxiety, distressed behaviours, school, anger, sleep, where to find resources and much more.

The Support Hub is available to help with questions about a child's neurodiversity (age 0 - 25) with or without a diagnosis. You can call if you are a parent, grandparent, other family member, professional or friend.
