SEDSConnective, a charity working at the intersection of symptomatic hypermobility and neurodivergence, has recently become a member of the World Health Organization Disability Health Equity Network.

This marks an important step in raising international awareness of these interconnected experiences and the need for more holistic approaches to care and support.
