    BHM – BOCFA presents Autism and Black Folk with Dr Donna – Marie Holder

    Featured
    EDCITY 1 Edcity Walk, London, Middlesex, United Kingdom

    Dr Donna Marie Holder, who has Barbadian and St Vincentian heritage, is an esteemed Autism Specialist supporting autistic children, their families, and related professionals across a major London Borough. With more than thirteen years of experience working with children and young people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) in both special and mainstream school environments, Dr Holder possesses substantial expertise in her field.
    Among seven million pupils, 119,821 have been diagnosed with autism. Boys continue to be diagnosed at significantly higher rates than girls, which, according to the team, may indicate limitations in gender-based diagnostic approaches. Data also show that autism prevalence is highest among pupils of Black ethnicity at 2.1%, whereas the lowest rate is observed within the Roma community at 0.85%.

    So pupils are 60% more likely to be socially disadvantaged, if they also have a record of autism.

    St Laurence Catford 37 Bromley Road, London, United Kingdom

    Dear Barbadians, Friends and Supporters of Barbados, I am writing to invite you to our annual Independence Thanksgiving Church Service. This year we are celebrating the 59th Anniversary of Independence and 4th Anniversary as a Republic. The theme is ‘We Gathering In Fellowship’ and pays homage to the We Gathering initiative by Prime Minister Mia Mottley, in which she encouraged Barbadians in the diaspora to reconnect with their culture and heritage. Our service aims to reflect these sentiments as we come together in peace, love and unity to celebrate another milestone in the proud history of our country, beautiful Barbados.
    Please see flyer for further information. We look forward to welcoming you!
