As a parent of a now 24 year-old neurodiverse /special needs/exceptional son, we can tell you whole-heartedly that it has been (and continues to be) challenging finding resources and programs to support KM. From a very young age, we as parents often sense that something is just not sitting right – whether it is speech, sensory issues, fine or gross motor skills or something else – and then where do we turn?  First off, we likely start with a paediatrician whom will often brush it off  “He will catch up” ,”He is a boy, they develop slowly“ “The school will test him” etc.

If I had gone with my gut instinct, we would have received numerous years of speech therapy versus one session due to 1.5 year waitlist many, many years ago. Of course, we can now turn to the internet (not so in 1998!)  but that can be very overwhelming and a vortex of confusion.

I have started this consulting business with the hopes of helping other families navigate an arduous system of finding resources for  funding, programs, sports, school support and more.
