This week Hannah and Matt are joined by Scott Mair, Founder and Director of Fatherhood Solutions and advocate for neurodiverse families and father-inclusive practice. This episode explores the perception of services being designed with mothers in mind, and how this may unintentionally make fathers feel excluded. Scott shares ideas for father inclusive practice, and the impact that this has had through the work of Fatherhood Solutions.
