Parents
|
Parents are the most important people in someone's life. They've been there since the early days and have the big picture. Parents need a circle of support around them to balance out the care that they give. We are here to be your partners. We are here to listen and learn from you. We are here to share ideas and create plans that resonate with you.

PROFESSIONALS
|
Professionals are very much needed in our community. But we need more than just a professional. We need people who are friends, partners, allies, and advocates, with an open mind.
Our current therapeutic models try to make each professional fit into the box of a program. If A, then B. Life does not work in a linear fashion so how can we expect professionals to follow rules that don't always apply to each situation? The most important thing we have learned is that we are never done learning. We never have all the answers. Therefore, we encourage our professionals to keep learning. Learn as much as you can from each modality. Keep all these ways of being in your tool belt. Do what feels right and then learn from it. And above all else, be a human first. |
People of all abilities
|
The most important people in this equation are the people who need our support. We want to hear from you. We want to learn from you. The best resource is straight from YOU! Here are a few of our favorite resources where we can learn how to best support our friends who rely on us.
