How I Provide Support and Education
What I do
- Get to know your family and understand your individual needs, goals, and strengths.
- Learn what accommodations or supports might be helpful to enhance those existing strengths.
- Provide tools and strategies for managing challenges.
- Educate and provide information about specific divergent neurotypes, how they impact people's lives, and what accommodations and adaptations may be most helpful.
- Advocate for your family to ensure your needs are being met: at school, home, in your community, and in the workplace.
- With permission, I will network and communicate with any other professionals involved with your family, to provide consistent, collaborative services.
- Provide services in a manner that respects each person's autonomy, individuality, and freedom of expression.
What I don't do
- I do not utilize reward-and-punishment behaviour therapies, nor any type of coercive approaches.
- It is not my goal to teach a neurodivergent person how to be neurotypical, nor is it my aim to "fix" people.
- Instead, I work from a respectful, person-centred, neurodiversity-affirming approach.
- The needs of the individual are prioritized over the needs of institutions, and I advocate for reasonable accommodations.
