I help parents of young autistic children (ages 2-6) navigate the overwhelming post-diagnosis journey, connecting them with trusted, neurodiversity-affirming resources, therapies, and inclusive school options. My mission is to bridge the gap for families, empowering them with the tools they need to advocate for their child’s unique needs and create a strong foundation for early intervention.I believe in the power of a multidisciplinary, communicative team — from speech therapists to occupational therapists, behavioral specialists, and educators — working collaboratively to provide holistic support. Families thrive when the professionals supporting their children are connected, reliable, and communicative, which is why I prioritize building those bridges for my clients.At Oak & Hive Consulting, we provide:Post-Diagnosis Support: Personalized guidance for parents, helping them make informed decisions about therapies and resources.Resource Matching: A curated network of neuro-affirming providers, including SLPs, OTs, PTs, Inclusive Schools, and Parent Coaches.Community Connection: The Oak Circle will offer a support group led by experts and surrounded by other parents who understand the journey.If you’re a parent looking for support, a provider interested in collaborating, or someone wanting to learn more, I’d love to connect and share how we can work together.
