Autism and ADHD coaching
ADHD Coaching
ADHD coaching and support at school, work, and home. Help from a neurodivergent professional for getting organized, navigating challenges, and enhancing self-advocacy skills.
Autistic-Affirming Support
Consulting, advocacy, and individual support services offered from one Autistic to another. I have both lived and professional experience supporting neurodivergent people in a way that is respectful and affirming. I help clients work toward their own goals and develop self-advocacy skills, rather than trying to condition or teach clients to attempt to mask and conform to neurotypical expectations.
Person-centred supports
I will meet with you and together we'll develop tools and strategies that work for you, to help you meet your goals. The time is yours, to focus on what is important to you, in a way that is respectful of your personal interests, values, and experiences.
Who I support
I work with parents, caregivers, families, children, youth, students, and professionals. A formal diagnosis is not required to access my services. I am happy to provide support and education to anyone who is interested in learning more about ADHD and Autism, and to anyone who would benefit from neurodiversity-affirming services.
Executive Functions coaching
Executive functions (EFs) are complex mental tasks which help us with things like impulse control, organization, planning, time management, working memory, problem-solving, cognitive flexibility, and emotional regulation. I can help you develop strategies to manage the EF challenges which come along with being neurodivergent.
Advocacy and self-advocacy
If you're struggling at work or school, I can help you develop strategies to manage areas of difficulty. I can also help you identify where your employer or educator can provide reasonable accommodations to help you thrive in your job or in your classroom. When professional advocacy is required, with permission, I can work directly with your employer, community organization, or school to ensure your (or your children's) needs are met.
How I Provide Support and Education
What I do
- Get to know your family and understand your unique 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.
