Proud to Call Connection Kickstart™ Neurodiversity-Affirming

I recently had the chance to speak with an autistic speech and language therapist who works with young children. I asked for honest feedback — not just on how Connection Kickstart™ supports families, but whether the foundations of the approach truly align with neurodiversity-affirming practice.

The outcome?

💬 “Yes — absolutely. This is a neurodiversity-affirming model.”

It was both reassuring and emotional to hear. I’ve always believed in respecting each child’s unique communication style, pace, and preferences — but getting validation from someone with both lived and professional experience gave me the confidence to say this more openly.

That means you can feel safe knowing that our work together:

  • Supports communication without pressure or correction
  • Respects autonomy, sensory needs, and identity
  • Focuses on connection, not compliance

It’s a huge step forward — and I’m proud to share it with you.
