Welcome to the Developmental Adult Neuro-Diversity Association
DANDA: an organisation run by and for neuro-diverse people such as those with Dyspraxia, AD(H)D, and Asperger Syndrome, Autism and Dyslexia
Patrons: The Lord Laird of Artigarvan and Paul Shattock OBE
DANDA's mission statement:
The Objectives of DANDA are as follows:
- To help adults with Developmental dyspraxia, ADHD, Asperger Syndrome and related conditions reach their full potential by providing and improving emotional and practical support, particularly for those conditions for which there has been less provision such as dyspraxia
- To raise awareness and understanding of these conditions in adulthood, particularly their assessment, their effects, their treatment and the inter-relationship between the different conditions
- To establish networks of groups to help adults with these conditions get involved in activities for interaction, mutual support, and education, provided that the activities shall be charitable.
Update about Membership, Donations and Book Sales:
Due to Circumstances beyond our control, DANDA has currently suspended Membership and Donations, and have removed the webpages from the website. We have also suspended book sales and no longer provide this service.
Membership:
Membership for existing Members is still valid, including those whose Membership expired since March 2012.
New Members are still welcome to attend our Social Events, which are open to all. However, for the DANDA London Group, new Members will need to contact us through the relevant contact details (see Venue and Contacts on Events Page for details) to attend Members’ Talks.
Donations:
Any cash donations received will still be accepted – we have suspended donations made via Paypal, cheque and BACS with immediate effect.
Book Sales:
Since September 2010, we have suspended book sales via the website and since 1 September 2012 have also ceased all book sales, including e-mail and telephone requests, as we no longer have the facility to store books at the Office.
Murray Segal, Treasurer, DANDA
