My child is Neurodivergent

Neurodiverse Affirming Practise

Our team of speech pathologist’s are passionate about learning from the neurodivergent voices in the community. We do this regularly by engaging with neurodivergent social media pages and groups, undertaking autisitc led professional development and listening to podcasts featuring neurodivergent and non speaking AAC users. 

Most of all we listen to and learn from our clients and families each and every day. 

As a practice we have adopted a Neurodiversity-affirming paradigm.

This means we accept that ALL brains and people are unique and this diversity is what makes our community whole.
