What if "disabilities" are actually talents and abilities?
Would it change the way kids view themselves if no
one labeled them as disabled?
What's right about ADD, ADHD, autism, dyslexia, etc. that we are not getting?
What if these kids with labels are simply getting information in a different way?
Children with ADD, ADHD, “On the spectrum” etc., don’t follow the lines. They create in a completely new way. Somersaulting and tumbling like butterflies they are able to go from point a to b, p back to c, up and down and back to z. There is an immense joy…a dancing joy, in how they create, moving constantly.
I specialize in bridging these amazing beings’ realities and the realities of school and home that require them to be functional. I am able to translate and navigate their realities; assisting parents, caregivers, and educators in connecting and understanding them. I empower kids to know that they know!
Using easy tools and verbal processing, I facilitate space for the “labeled” person and the people who interact with them. Together we decrease outbursts, increase communication, and create more ease in everyone’s day-to-day life.
I invite you to look from another place. I invite you to come and play as we explore greater possibilities. What can these kids contribute to us?
What can we generate together?
Gratitude,
