You’ve tried all the parenting tips and attempted well-meaning advice from your friends. But either the suggestions don’t seem to work or they feel wrong for your family and your child. You find yourself struggling to figure out what to do - do you even need to do anything? Is this just ‘a phase’? Is it part of your child’s personality? It seems as though everyone has an opinion but which opinions really matter?
Everyone parent wants to do the best they can for their child. We’re here to help you figure out what that looks like while respecting your child’s needs. We offer several types of consultative services to enable you to get back to quality family time.
DIY - materials creation (group class)
Do you have some experience creating schedules and visual supports but just need to bounce some ideas around in the group? Or maybe you just need some dedicated time to actually create the schedule. Perhaps you kind of, maybe, think you know what to do, but having someone guide and model would be helpful. We offer group classes for do-it-yourselfers who just need a little extra support to get their support created (started?) and some tried and true tips for successful implementation. There’s nothing worse than spending time creating a visual just to have it gathering dust!
Group classes consist of two 1hr video calls. You’ll learn the theory behind the strategy and the ‘dos and don’ts’ for creation. Further more, you’ll receive guidance and feedback during each step of the process - from concept development to implementation.
Current materials creation classes include: collaborative picture schedules, social stories, and routine-specific visual supports. Interested in learning when these each class is running? Contact us to get on our mailing list. Cost: $80 per package.
Quick Brainstorm
If you need a sounding board or some quick advice to navigate a daily routine or challenge, you can schedule a 1hr brainstorming video call. These calls are perfect if you have a solid understanding of neurodiversity - maybe you’ve even completed some of our more in-depth courses in the past. Quick Brainstorms also include a follow-up email summarizing recommendations. Contact us for scheduling opportunities. Cost: $150
Customized schedules, social stories, supports
Your child thrives with the schedule she uses at school and loves the personalized social stories made several years ago. But your schedule at home doesn’t seem to work (or maybe you don’t have one yet!) and the social stories you’ve found online just don’t seem to meet your needs. The Customized Schedules, Social Stories, and Supports package is for you. With this package, we work together to create a social story, collaborative schedule, or time-management system specifically for your family and your child. Not only do you get a fully customized and family-specific support, you also get to see the process in action. Nothing like learning from doing!
Join us on an intake call to determine what support you need and to discuss the initial iteration. Once we have a solid understanding of your individual needs and routine, we’ll create a draft (using pictures and materials provided specific to your family) and schedule a follow-up call to review the draft and make any tweaks/adjustments. Finally, you’ll send you either a digital or hard-copy version of your creation. Want us to also walk you through the introduction of this product with your child? That can also be arranged! Cost: Starting at $300.
In-depth understanding
Need some additional assistance? We’ve got your back. This package gives you access to an initial intake call to learn more about your child and family dynamics. During this call we also flush out the 1-2 main areas that you and your family would like to explore more in more detail. We’ll work together for three follow-up video sessions (1hr each) to strategize, practice, and watch your family grow!
In-Depth Understanding sessions are ideal for families who are newer to neurodiversity and are looking to learn more about how their child thinks. Or maybe you’ve been a neurodiversity advocate for years but are looking for some tips and strategies to implement during your home routine. Supportive home = happy home. Space for these consults is limited, please contact us for additional information and scheduling details. Cost: $575
Full and half Day Extravaganzas
Ever wish you could just have someone come and see how your family operates, explain what works well and what doesn’t, and tell you what to do to ‘fix’ it? Well we have the package for you ;-). With our full and half day extravaganzas, we come and spend a full day (8 hrs) or half day (4 hrs) with you and your crew.
But possibly more helpful that having people watch ‘in real time’, this package also includes day-of video reviews of your family routines to discuss strategies, miscommunications, and potential supports. You also receive a customized list of strategies and recommendations and one resource/suggestion created for you and your family (ex: social story, collaborative schedule). Added bonus, since we’re with you for several hours, you also get to pick our brain throughout the day!
Extravaganzas are designed for families who want insight on larger aspects of their life and routines. Maybe you don’t yet have supports in your home and just need help figuring out what and where makes the most sense. Perhaps you know what needs done but just don’t have the time to do it all yourself. On these extravaganzas, the time is yours to use as you (and your family) see fit. Contact us for pricing.
