Hello!

Do you have an autistic and/or neurodivergent child, or child in your care? Well then, this is the place for you!

Mark your calendars and register for our coming complimentary event for parents and caregivers of neurodivergent kiddos.

WHO: parents, care givers, or any adults that are responsible for the care and upbringing of a neurodivergent child.
WHAT: interactive workshop session for Raising an Empowered Neurodivergent.
WHEN: Saturday, Oct. 23rd, 10am to 1130am PST
WHERE: via zoom on your computer, phone or device. (Register here)
WHY: Unfortunately our Current World isn't designed generally with Neurodivergents in mind and can lead to exacerbated symptomology, heightened limitations, frustrations and mental health impacts. Our current model also generally looks at neurodivergence from a pathology model; something to be fixed or cured. Well that child in your life is Neurodivergent and that brain wiring is a BIG part of who they are. This workshop is to give you the mindset, tools and guidance to work WITH your child's wiring and be an advocate for EMPOWERED Neurodivergents.
HOW: We bring education, awareness, and understanding of your child's world so you can can be a partner with them, supporting them to learn their needs, articulate their needs (as works for them), and have their needs met and be a partner in creating environments for THRIVE for your child (their own personal THRIVE environments). You get to learn outside of the box ways to work WITH your child exactly how they are and support them in having the scaffolds for their goals and/or to support them in inventing outside of the ordinary.

The Details:
This session is designed for parents of Neurodivergent kiddos. It is designed to give you a solid foundation to be an empowered advocate for your child and family. It is also designed to meet you right where you are, so please bring YOU!

This workshop's objective is for you to leave connected to
-what neurodivergence is and isn't,
-a foundational platform to relate to your child's neurodivergence,
-new eyes to see from to have you be present to your environment and surrounding and
-how you can create thriving environments for your family that includes all needs being met,
-you will walk away with actionable tools you can implement immediately to bring heightened connection and thrive into your daily rhythm,
-AND you'll practice tools in communication to ongoingly develop and tend to your families needs and supports.

Lead by Kat (Service Provider trained across the modalities and parent coach) and Szara (neurodivergent herself and mumma of 5 neurodiverse kiddos, life coach and communication facilitator). This is perfect for right where you are and whether you are new to this neurodivergent world or been in for some time, you will find immense value for yourself and family. This is an adult only and a complimentary class.

The first episode of the Divergence Zone's podcast is released and here it is! In this episode of the Divergence Zone, you get the chance to get related to Kat.
