ACCOMPANIMENT FOR PARENTS

I have been a parent for almost 25 years this year.

I didn’t know when I got into the professional field of special education that I would also

have the experience of raising and accompanying neurodiverse children; three of them to be exact.

As I continue to develop and learn professional skills,

it is very common that a lot of that learning is happening parallel to my parenting experience.

So, when I share my recommendations as I accompany you, they are probably things that I have experimented with myself!

This doesn’t mean that I know better than you, it means that maybe I can save you some time and energy

and provide some guidance in making some connections between our similar experiences.

I want to chat with you

It has been a real journey in understanding, learning about the nuances of neurodiverse thinking

and how it impacts each individual differently.

Just when I thought I got it with one child, I realized that that wouldn’t work for another because they are completely unique. I have had to improve my communication and parenting in ways I never imagined. Through continual professinal and pedogogical experiences, reading many types of material and media, listening to various podcasts, speaking with a network of professionals, and following other people’s stories,

I have expanded myself in all areas of my life.

Personal growth is very important to me; I practise the things that I recommend.

And it is truly one of my greatest passions in life to be able to exchange ideas with others.
