A podcast about making services better for neurodiverse people

Alyson McGregor, Altogether Better’s Director, was recently invited onto the Community Conversations podcast hosted by Sarah Fassihi from Central Cheshire Integrated Care Partnership.

Alyson spoke about our action research project to explore what would make neurodiverse people’s experience of health services better.

“The amazing thing about it is that the things that we learned wouldn’t just improve things for people who were neurodiverse, they would improve services for everyone”

— Alyson McGregor, National Director, Altogether Better

Through surveys, interviews and group workshops with neurodiverse young people, adults, family members and staff, data and insights were gathered which people worked together to interpret in order to understand how health services could build services that worked better for people.

Alyson described how “the amazing thing about it is that the things that we learned wouldn’t just improve things for people who were neurodiverse, they would improve services for everyone.”
