"I've struggled to get resources.”

“I’m exhausted!”

“I worry about what will happen all the time”

“😬 I’m feeling overwhelmed .”

“Transition is coming fast, and it’s the area that I know the least about.”

“I have spent so….much….time online trying to learn this stuff and I’m more confused than ever, and my brain just hurts now.”

“It’s fine, we’re fine, it’ll be fine.”

Parents are strength based - they want to see what is going well. Of course. When there is so much worry about our child and then “things are fine” it feels like such a relief and such a victory. And it IS!

But fine can change in a second without notice.

Fine is not thriving. Fine is not excelling. Fine is not reaching one’s potential.

We can do better than fine.

And that’s what I can support you to do. To find your path forward. To know what services are out there and to access those that will help your youth to thrive. So you don’t get to the end of the next stage and wonder what’s next, or worse, for your youth to not have what they need at the next stage and all of a sudden things are not “fine”.

A Path Forward

Case review, assessment, consultation, recommendations, and referrals.

You have to understand the why and the how of special needs service providers (why they exist and the regulations) before you can effectively ask for the what.
