TOS & Jij

About TOS & Jij

TOS & Jij is an organization in Nijeveen that offers buddy support and information about TOS (developmental language disorder). The support is for people with TOS from around age 10 and, where appropriate, involves their surroundings.

Support and information

Buddies adapt to the person and their story, pace, and context. Parents, schools, employers, and other people involved can also receive support.
