ABSTRACT

Every day, I sit with my clients and their parents in the therapy room. My clients are mostly neurodivergent kids and teens and their parents. I feel comfortable listening to them share their story and help them feel comfortable with it, too. We brainstorm ideas together to help overcome executive functioning difficulties or to improve communication within the family or with peers. We strategize about accommodations that may be effective at home or in the classroom. We celebrate the successes and find the opportunities within the struggles, embracing the slow, plodding work of therapy.
