Description
Christine is a Registered Therapeutic Counsellor with a specialization in neurodiverse children and families. She is an avid advocate for neurodiversity rights, accessibility, inclusion, and accommodation. She does not see neurodiversity as a deficit but rather as a different way of experiencing the world that is just as valid and beautiful. Adults must first identify and challenge how the environment and their own value systems may be contributing to a child's difficulties before placing the responsibility for change upon the child.
