What Makes Us Special

We are not your typical Neurodiversity Consultation. We strive to

  • E. Educate family and children to navigate the world in a way that works for their brain
  • P. (be)Proactive in your life and in our practice: teaching skills you can use to be proactive too
  • I. Innovate strategies that fit your child's neurodiversity and family
  • C. (be) Client-centered: your child is not a box to be ticked off, they have their own skills, traits, and interests that we will work with
E.P.I.C.

  Our intervention takes time and helps kids build 21st-century skills to problem solve, self-reflect & work with others.

Receiving a diagnosis for your child can be daunting - we are here to help. Whether you are exploring or have just received a diagnosis or are looking for neurodivergent-affirming approach, Mandi is here to share her knowledge and expertise.

 

 Serving British Columbia and Alberta, Mandi has both lived experience as well as 18 years experience with a wide variety of diagnoses and continues to offer opportunities to all families with a diagnosis in need of support.

 

Our approach and services are based on Collaborative Proactive Solutions and Low Arousal approaches. We also use the principles of Natural Play Therapy.

E.P.I.C is always learning and growing: to support children and parents through childhood using research-based techniques. Mandi's background includes her own experience as an autistic and the functional impact that has. Then add on her Masters in the Science of Teaching & Special Education Specialist (Parts 1 & 2) and her current pursuit of an Educational Doctorate in Cognitive Diversity (Twice-Exceptionality).  Then, her hands-on experience with families includes: 13 years neurodiversity consultation experience, and 18 years with making education meet your child where they are at, family support, advocacy, and basic information about your diagnosis and where to begin a family support plan.

Mandi is a breath of fresh air. She doesn't see the program first. She sees your child and your family first.
