LEARN HOW WE CAN WORK TOGETHER

Neurodivergent-affirming practices support flourishing by meeting needs and addressing barriers

Why is this so important? 

Research shows that neurodivergent people currently have poor life outcomes in all areas and that these outcomes are modifiable if we change the way we provide support. 

Let's work together to create that change towards providing neurodivergent-affirming education and care which:

  • Embraces and values the natural diversity of human brains and bodies 

  • Is responsive to meeting individual needs

  • Accommodates sensory, executive functioning and emotional regulation needs

  •  Supports both strengths and challenges of individuals 

  • Changes and saves lives

Our Support Services

"Embracing my children's, and then my own, Autistic and Neurodivergent identities changed my parenting and professional practice profoundly.

I now teach and support people to apply best practice principles through a neurodivergent-affirming lens, and provide safe, and responsive support that change people's lives"

~ Kate

Hello! I'm Kate!

With over 20 years of professional experience in the disability and educational sectors, and a lifetime of lived experience, I provide uniquely authentic, compassionate neurodivergent-led education and support.

I support parents, carers, and professionals to implement evidence-based neuroaffirming practices and to develop a neuroaffirming lens through online courses, one-to-one sessions, group training, professional development and public speaking.

As a neurodivergent woman, mother of neurodivergent kids, and community member who is immersed in my neurodivergent community, I want to be part of change, where neurodivergent people are embraced and supported to flourish.

I love being part of being part of creating new systems and change, because what we leave for our next generations is just as important as the life we're living now.

In short, I think you're pretty rad!

Cat
Parent of 10 yr old boy, Autistic & Gifted

Kate is essential for any neurodivergent individual who desires to know themselves better

"Kate has helped me to know myself in a deeper way and not just how to overcome my differences, but also how to walk in harmony with them. One of the many splendid things about Kate is that she does not try and change you to be someone who you are not, but rather values you for the amazing person that you are. Kate is essential for any neurodivergent individual who desires to know themselves better, learn some brilliant strategies that help and have a fun, meaningful time".

Alexander W

Kate has been non-judgmental in her approach and has presented some outstanding professional learning to staff

"Since working with Kate I have developed a new approach to my students with more knowledge, awareness and insight into children who present with more complex profiles. I have challenged my own beliefs and perceptions, and now have a far more discerning approach to enabled me to, not only make different considerations for learning, but also for students who are "masking", struggling with anxiety, and present as PDA or RSD. Kate has been non-judgmental in her approach and has presented some outstanding professional learning to staff".

Janet Coomber, Head of Campus - Two Wells

A deep sense of understanding and compassion for ourselves and each other

"I would describe Kate as a gently bubbling spring of infinite knowledge and resources. Sessions with her prompt me to re-examine my own ideas, and really see the world through my child's own unique perspective.

Kate helps me to find practical and flexible ways that work for the whole family to make our home a calmer and happier place.

Kate has really helped me to view my child (and myself!) from an entirely different lens which has provided us with such a deep sense of understanding and compassion for ourselves and each other as we navigate life. " 

Nicole
Mum of 7 yr old AuDHD PDAer

Affirmation, understanding and helpful ways forward

"We have been working with Kate for some years now and talking with her never fails to bring affirmation, understanding and helpful ways forward.

Kate not only has a huge bank of knowledge in the areas of giftedness and neurodiversity but has years of experience of living the life of neurodivergence. Thank you for all that you do, Kate!"

Alice
Homeschooling parent to two children with profiles of
Autism, ADHD disgraphia, tourettes, coeliacs disease and anxiety

You are the first professional that really 'gets it'!

"I just wanted to thank you for today's group session. Listening to you was the first time I have felt that any professional really 'gets it' in terms of what we are experiencing. Everything you covered was incredibly helpful and will definitely help me to support my child at home."

Mother of 13 yr old Autistic daughter

I will let you come back

"I don't like many people, but you’re OK, I will let you come back"

BB, 14 yr old, Autistic

It's magic how you embed so much learning without her knowing

"You just seem to weave so much richness into everyday tasks with Miss 13. It's magic how you can follow her lead and embed so much learning without her knowing"

Parent of 13 yr old girl, Gifted, Autistic & PDA

You are not like other therapists

"What is your job? You're not like other therapists, this is fun"

Boy 8 yrs, Gifted & Autistic

I highly recommend Kate as a therapist and champion of PDA

"Working with Kate and my 12 yo PDAer has been life changing for our family. We felt heard, understood and Kate gave us simple practical ideas to make life smoother.

She helped us to set realistic goals and work toward them in a way our child needed. She is compassionate, fun and great with our child.

Not only did she help our child but helped myself and my husband to get through some challenging times.

I highly recommend Kate as a therapist and champion of PDA."
