Services

Neuro-Affirming Home Support: Individualised Coaching for families in South Africa.

Personalised In-Home Support: Neuro-Affirming Coaching for Your Family ​Creating a home environment that truly supports a neurodivergent child requires more than just general advice—it requires a deep understanding of your family’s unique rhythm. As a qualified neurodiversity facilitator and coach with over 17 years of experience in education, I provide individualised home visits designed to bridge the gap between classroom strategies and daily home life. ​Tailored Strategies in Your Own Environment ​Every family is different, which is why my at-home support begins where life happens. By observing your child and your household dynamics in person, I provide bespoke resources and practical environmental adjustments that a clinical setting simply cannot offer. Whether you are navigating a new diagnosis, managing PDA (Pervasive Demand Avoidance), or seeking better ways to support your child’s learning profile, my goal is to help you build a neuro-affirming home environment. ​What My In-Home Coaching Includes: ​Environment Audits: Practical tweaks to your home layout to reduce sensory overload and support executive functioning. ​Customised Resource Packs: Tools, visual schedules, and "toolkits" specific to your child’s interests and needs. Educational Advocacy ​Family-Centric Coaching: Supportive sessions for parents and siblings to foster understanding and reduce household burnout.

 Good morning Andrea I would like to thank you for the wonderful session on Friday on neurodiversity. The learners responded very positively to you as a presenter, and I thought the way you structured the session was excellent. It was highly informative for both staff and learners, without being overly academic, and very relatable. Thank you once again for your valuable contribution. Yours in Education Ancia Vosloo Principal: Parklands College Secondary Faculty
