FAQ
-
What will I learn?
The Safe House Framework is designed to help you organise your thinking around how best to support your autistic child.
By the end of the program you will have a deep and nuanced understanding of autism, through the lens of the neurodiversity paradigm. And you will have a detailed action plan specific to your child that you can implement immediately.
The plan will guide you through building an affirming team for your child, identifying the most important features of your child's unique profile, creating an individualised support plan for your child, and educating all the important people in your child's world so they can create a safe and supportive environment for your child. -
How long will it take?
It very much depends on how much time you spend on the workbook activities.
Like most things in life, the more you put into the program, the more you will get out of it.
There is 4 hours of video content, plus 7 case studies, a 100+ page workbook, and some simple quizzes to highlight the key points.
The program is designed to be worked through gradually, over days or weeks. -

Your Guide
Hello and welcome!
My name is Valli, and I am a clinical psychologist and autistic woman.
My mission is to improve the mental health of autistic children and young people by helping adults embrace their unique way of being, and support them in ways that truly matter.
This program is a carefully curated collection of the information and tools I have found to be most helpful in both my clinical practice, and my lived experience.
My goal was to create a program that is clear and engaging, and leaves parents feeling empowered and confident in their ability to be their child's greatest supporter, ally, and advocate.
I know that if we work together, we can build communities where autistic children experience the feeling of safety that comes from being truly understood.
I would love for you to join The Safe House. Let's create a culture of kindness for our kids.
