ANM Resources
Practical resources for real life.
Clear, dignity-centred guides for families, educators, professionals, workplaces and communities supporting neurodivergent people across Africa.
The resource library
Four guides.
Practical places to begin.
Read the full web guide when you want context, or download the shorter PDF support pack when you need something easy to save, print or share.
01 — AUTISM
Understand autism. Support autistic people.
Begin with listening, respect and access.
Explore communication, sensory processing, routines and practical support. The guide recognises that autistic people have different strengths, needs and ways of communicating.
02 — ADHD
Make daily life more workable.
Reduce friction. Build systems people can actually use.
Find dignity-centred support for attention, activity, impulses and executive functioning at home, in education, at work and in community life.
03 — PDA
Lower the pressure. Keep the connection.
Respond to distress with curiosity, flexibility and trust.
Understand how demands may feel overwhelming or threatening, why pressure can intensify distress, and how shared problem-solving can create a safer starting point.
04 — INCLUSION
Access is how people belong.
Look for barriers, then change the environment.
Use practical ideas for more accessible information, participation, policies and decision-making in schools, workplaces, services and communities.
Find your starting point
Different settings.
The same responsibility.
Support works best when access is built into ordinary life. Use these guides as conversation starters, then listen to the person affected.
At home
Make routines clearer, reduce unnecessary pressure and ask what helps.
In education
Offer predictable information, communication choices, movement and sensory access.
At work
Use transparent systems, flexible practices and clear, respectful communication.
In community
Remove participation barriers and include lived experience in decisions.
Use the resources well
A guide can open a conversation.
It cannot replace one.
01
Read
Use the guide to understand common barriers and possible starting points. Do not treat it as a checklist for judging a person.
02
Ask
Ask the neurodivergent person what makes participation easier, safer or more sustainable for them.
03
Adapt
Make practical changes, notice what works and review the plan without blame when needs or circumstances change.
