Agata leads the day-to-day running of Embracing Complexity, a coalition of leading UK organisations working together to explore new approaches in improving outcomes for neurodivergent people.

Neurodevelopmental diagnostic categories have significant implications both in practice and research. People often have more than one “condition” or don’t fit into any diagnostic “box”, while research is often siloed within diagnostic categories.
Embracing Complexity aims to build relationships and infrastructure across these boundaries in diagnosis, services and offer new perspectives for neurodevelopmental research. By thinking differently about how we campaign, fund research and offer support, we can improve lives faster, more efficiently and more effectively
