Testimonials

“I was not aware of the autistic ‘SPACE’ framework and again knowledge of this and how this is to be considered is really useful.”

“This could be used for neurotypical and neurodivergent clients to help build a safe space and build a trusting relationship where they feel heard/considered”

Respect warmly welcomes this important resource, which we’re grateful to have collaborated on. The innovative toolkit turns vital research into practical guidance, enabling services to better meet the needs of Neurodivergent people and remove barriers to seeking help. It will support both Make a Change and Respect member services to deliver more inclusive, responsive, and unbiased interventions.

“This guide is a world first, and long overdue. Nicole has put so much hard work, research, tireless consultation and practice-based wisdom into this extensive resource. The guide introduces crucial concepts for us to consider in how we understand and respond to adults who use violence without neurotypical privilege, as well as diving deep into practice. An essential resource for any practitioner engaging with men and other adults who perpetrate domestic abuse.”

“I had some knowledge of neurodivergence but the key terms were useful and the guide outlines a more in-depth description of autism, ADHD etc. It also outlines the relevance to domestic abuse perpetrator interventions.”

“We found the guide to be very positive, informative and educational. It is very user-friendly, being easy to read and apply in practice. We look forward to using the guide more, as it will be beneficial in directing future practice and engagement with service users.”
