Advocating for Your Neurodivergent Child: Advice From A Behaviour Support Specialist

In this weeks episode of Holding Space, we sit down with Aviea from Autism 360. Aviea is a behaviour support specialist who works closely with families of neurodivergent children, including ASD & ADHD. With a focus on empowering mothers and parents, she shares how she helps parents manage the emotional toll of advocating for their children within the school system. 

We explore how she does this, and how she helps prepare parents for meetings about their child, communicating with educators & ensuring that the child's unique needs are recognised and met. 

Her approach enforces that no one knows a child better than their parent, and that they have the tools to help support their child not only at home but at school. 

This is a must listen for anyone on their journey of supporting a neurodivergent child.
