Join us on Monday 21st September from 5:30pm to 6:30pm (BST - UK time) for a session focused on helping you feel confident going back to school, starting college or university and speaking up about what you need when living with Stargardt’s disease.

We’ll explore ways to explain your needs, ask for support, and work with teachers to make changes that help you learn and feel included. We’ll also share ideas about classroom adaptations, useful strategies, and how you can feel more confident advocating for yourself at school, college or university. There will be an opportunity to ask questions, share experiences, and learn from others.
