Celebrating Pride Month & the Neurodivergent Community: Embracing Intersectionality
In honor of Pride Month, albeit on the very last day, this post explores the powerful intersection between neurodivergent and LGBTQIA+ identities. Using occupational therapy frameworks and research-backed mental health insights, learn how affirming care and inclusive spaces can support well-being, connection, and belonging.
Supporting Your Child’s Sensory Needs at Home
As a parent raising a neurodivergent child, you may have noticed that your child experiences the world in a unique way—whether through heightened or reduced sensory awareness, a need for movement, or a tendency to avoid certain textures, sounds, or lights. These sensory needs aren’t just preferences but are often tied to their neurodivergence, such as ADHD, autism, or sensory processing disorder (SPD). Understanding and supporting your child’s sensory needs at home is key to helping them feel safe, regulated, and empowered in their everyday life.
Understanding and Embracing Your Neurodivergence
Being neurodivergent might sometimes make you feel like you're standing out or struggling in environments designed for neurotypical brains. But guess what? Standing out isn’t a bad thing. Some of the most innovative minds are neurodivergent—people like Steve Jobs and Simone Biles thrive by embracing how their brains work. Check out this post to learn more about how you can, too.
