Feedback

Here's what participants had to say...

“The program was transformative for me. I gained insights into myself, and a completely different perspective on my role. I finished the program with a far deeper and more compassionate understanding of the barriers faced by neurodivergent children and young people. I feel well-equipped to apply what I have learned, both in my daily life, and in my work.

I highly recommend this program to anyone seeking personal and professional growth.”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“As a therapist and parent to two autistic children, I want to say a massive THANK YOU.

The program for health professionals is invaluable for people at all career stages, but especially for early career therapists. I wish I'd had this when I was starting out!

Your generosity in gifting the parent program is admirable, and deeply appreciated. It makes the parent education part of my role so easy.”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“Initially I had some reservations about the neurodiversity-affirming approach, but this program completely changed my perspective. It helped me understand the importance of this approach from a human rights standpoint. The quality and well-structured format made the learning process enjoyable and impactful. I especially appreciated its real-world applicability, allowing me to implement what I learned right away. This program is a must for anyone looking to enhance their understanding and support of autistic people.”

Prefer the phone?

We're a tiny team of neurodivergent humans, so we don't always have someone available to take calls. However we do have a lovely answering service who will make sure we get your message, and we will call back as soon as we can.
