Parenting a Child with Diverse Needs
Supporting your family to uncover and understand your child’s individual strengths & needs
Parenting is the hardest and most rewarding job you will ever have. It is hard for many reasons, but they all stem from watching your child walk around and interact in a world we cannot control. Most importantly, we want our child to be happy. We all have expectations of what this will look like; visions of our “perfect", most precious child. You read all the books, fed them all the right food, sent them to the best programs, but something feels off to you. In another scenario, you are told that there are concerns. The worry about your child and “what's next” is overwhelming.
As an early childhood educator, special education teacher, and parent of a neurodiverse child- I understand. I can help your family as you process the questions, concerns and solutions.
Let me be your guide in helping you through this time.
So, if...
