Choosing Parent / Mentor Goals with Debbie

When one of the children, teens, or young adult’s you’re parenting or working with is autistic and/or neurodivergent they have higher support needs.

Having parental goals is important if you want to meet their needs effectively. We as parents and mentors are the leaders. We choose the direction, focus, and goals. We set the pace, hopefully informed by our families needs and developmental stages.
