Neurodivergent Parent Group Co-design Survey

Women with Disabilities ACT (WWDACT) is planning a Neurodivergent Parent Group in Canberra in 2026.

The Neurodivergent Parent Group will run once a month.

We want this Parent Group to be designed by and for neurodivergent adults. This survey will help us understand:

  • What topics and speakers people want
  • What kinds of events and activities would feel useful and enjoyable
  • What access, support and sensory needs people have
  • When and where it would be easiest for people to attend

We will use what we learn to design the Group program, choose a venue, and plan access and supports. We may also use de‑identified information to support future advocacy, funding applications, and resources about adult neurodivergent needs in the ACT.

Who is this survey for?

You can complete this survey if you:
  • Are a parent/primary caregiver (including if you are pregnant)
  • Live in the ACT or surrounding regions, or would consider travelling to Canberra for a Neurodivergent Parent Group.
  • Are neurodivergent, think you might be neurodivergent.
You do not need a formal diagnosis to take part.

Information: Some common forms of neurodivergence are Autism, ADHD, AuDHD, Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, Dyscalculia, Dysgraphia, and Tourette Syndrome (TS).


We have received funding from the Department of Health, Disability and Ageing (ACT) to host three Neurodivergent projects:
  • Neurodivergent Adult Symposium
  • Neurodivergent Parenting Group
  • Short Courses for neurodivergent youth aged 16-25

How long is this survey?
  • This survey should take about 10–20 minutes to complete.
  • It may take longer if you choose to write more in the open‑text questions.
  • You may not see every question – some questions depend on how you answer earlier ones.
  • No questions are "required", so you can skip any question. Some will have an option like “Prefer not to say”.
  • Please make sure to "Submit" once you're done!

Privacy and confidentiality
  • This survey is anonymous.
  • We will collect and combine the information from all responses to help plan the Parent Group and inform our advocacy.
  • We will not share any information that can identify you, unless you clearly give us permission (for example, if you choose to leave your name and contact details and request follow‑up).

Saved responses

  • This survey tool may save your responses as you move through the questions.
  • WWDACT staff may be able to see partial responses, even if you do not submit the survey.
  • You can go back and change your answers at any time while the survey is still open.

Other ways to be involved

If you would prefer another way to share your ideas or feedback about the Parent Group, you can:
  • Register your interest in joining a small in‑person focus group (there is a question about this at the end of the survey), and/or
  • Contact WWDACT directly about the Parent Group at amy@wwdact.org.au
    • Arrange a one‑to‑one conversation
    • Ask for a paper copy or accessible format of the survey
    • Share your thoughts by email or phone
This survey closes on Sunday 26th July.
