Why did you start PBS Buddies? When my son was diagnosed with ADHD and Autism I found there was limited support for parents to understand behaviours or how to cope in every day life and support a child with additional needs.
We struggled to understand the limited resources that came with our sons diagnosis.
I wanted to invest into something so parents wouldn’t feel alone, empower others to support their children grow and develop regardless of their additional needs or behaviour as well as providing education on how their diagnosis effects them personally
