What Makes Us Special
What Makes Us Special
We are not your typical Neurodiversity Consultation. We strive to
- E. Educate family and children to navigate the world in a way that works for their brain
- P. (be)Proactive in your life and in our practice: teaching skills you can use to be proactive too
- I. Innovate strategies that fit your child's neurodiversity and family
- C. (be) Client-centered: your child is not a box to be ticked off, they have their own skills, traits, and interests that we will work with
Our intervention takes time and helps kids build 21st-century skills to problem solve, self-reflect & work with others.
