Support For Schools
Working within education is a vital part of our work. There is a lack of awareness about symptomatic hypermobility and neurodivergence within schools.
We aim to provide information for educators and other school professionals, so children can be better supported.
Schools Toolkit
The Schools Toolkit, created by our founder, Jane Green MBE, includes an overview of EDS and Joint Hypermobility, and some of the most common ways these conditions can impact pupils' functional and academic participation. It also includes advice on reasonable adjustments and how to support hypermobile children.
