For Parents

I offer one-off consultations tailored to providing you with the support and direction you need.

Consults will help you to understand your child’s neurotype and access information and resources which support their unique brain and empower you in your understanding.

Consults are available in person or via telehealth.

Common topics covered in recent consults include:

• Understanding my child’s behaviour
• Learning how my child communicates with me
• Advocating for my child at school
• Learning about spoon theory, spiky profiles and fluctuating capacity
• Using low demand language
• Problem solving disagreements and communicating through dysregulation and big feelings
• Understanding affirming ways to support my child’s feeding differences
• Unpacking and understanding what therapy supports my child actually needs
• How to educate others about my child’s neurotype

Depending on waitlist and area of need, parent education groups are available to support the areas below. Groups or workshops can be organised by schools, childcares or community groups to allow for increased access to supports.
