It helps to have the right people in your corner.
“Helen’s guidance was invaluable. She helped me understand my rights in the IESP process, the complexity of my ‘twice-exceptional’ AuDHD daughter’s strengths and support needs, and how to successfully advocate for both.”

Testimonials

"Helen changed my and my family's lives. The savviness of her deep research into resources and providers is unmatched. She helped me step-by-step through my child's dyslexia, autism, and PDA diagnoses, and the entirety of NY state's OPWDD [Office for People With Developmental Disabilities] application process. She helped me find a practitioner to evaluate me for autism and OCD, and an occupational therapist who has helped me better understand myself and where I struggle. Helen's expertise is unlike anything I have ever seen. She is wise, deeply knowledgeable, unafraid of tenacious paperwork and complicated systems/processes, and creative in matching specific resources to my children's needs. Her advocacy work is a gift. Everyone, especially neurodivergent folx and those that care for them, should be so lucky as to work with Helen!"

"Helen is one of a kind. She embodies a rare, incredible balance of logic and being heart-led. Her ability to see the big picture while holding my family's immediate needs is a gift — and her support, from IESP guidance to care provider recommendations, has been priceless.”

"From my kiddo's initial psychoeducational assessment, through our IESP process, through the detour of my own AuDHD assessment and diagnosis, and now again through a second assessment for potential learning disabilities, Helen's perspective and guidance has been critical for my family. Her knowledge of neurodivergence and its co-occuring conditions, her deep understanding of the 'atypical' ways Autism and ADHD often present in women/girls and LGBTQIA+ individuals (and the ways in which we too often go undiagnosed or misdiagnosed), and her recommendations for neurodiversity- and LGBTQIA+- affirming providers made a world of difference. I am 100% positive that, if I hadn't had Helen coaching me on how to push back against outdated understandings of neurodivergence, we definitely wouldn't be as well-resourced as we are now."
