support for 
neurodivergent 
families


 

You are a great parent.*

*And even great parents could use help sometimes.

I work with families to support neurodivergent children's needs at home and school.

I'm glad you're here.

Parenting is hard. Parenting "outside of the box" kids can be even harder.

 

That's where I can help.

​

Using my experience as a teacher, a parent of my own "out of the box" kids, and a proud operator of a neurodivergent brain, I work with families to find solutions to behaviour that is getting in the way of connection. 

​

My approach is rooted in collaboration and relationship. I use my understanding of sensory processing, executive functioning, learning disabilities, and neurotypes (ADHD, autism, etc.) to bridge the gap between what we say as parents, and what our kids hear. I find the lagging skills that often cause kids to struggle in ways that can look like defiance, disregard, and disrespect.

Ways I Can Help

Family
Support

You love your kid/s more than anything. You do not love certain behaviours, and want to understand their "why" to strengthen your connection. 

​

I can help. 

School
Support

Your child has an IEP or you think they would benefit from having one. All of the educational acronyms are making your head swim. 

​

I can walk you through this.

Academic
Support

Information Sessions/ Webinars

You are watching your child struggling at school and are reminded daily why you didn't choose homeschooling.​

​

I can take the homework wheel.

You are a chair of a parent council or other organization, and think your community could benefit from my approach. 

​

I can tailor my presentations to suit your needs.
