LIVED EXPERIENCE SERVICES

All of our services are delivered by Lived Experience Consultants and staff who have a lived experience of neurodivergence as well as being experts in the autism sector. RAEN is a proudly disability led organisation and believes strongly in the "nothing about us without us" ethos and that there is no one better to provide insight to autistic experience than those who are autistic or family of an autistic person.
