Collaborative Community

Right now: This page is under construction!

In the works: 

• What: A collaborative network where people with disabilities, caregivers to people with disabilities, and professionals who support people with disabilities can organize information to better support everyone in our community. Information is power! Parents and community members have more than they realize- I am thinking about the big needs like service providers - but I am also thinking about the things your doctors and SSAs might not mention like where is the best place to get a sensory friendly haircut or have a meal in a restaurant without worrying about 15 hidden exits. 

• Who: I invited some of the very best neuro-affirming parents, caregivers, SLPs, OTs, PTs, BCBAs, Educators, Child Psychologists and other related professionals I know from the communities I live and have worked in. I want to start local and establish a foundation of shared knowledge and resources. We welcome like minded providers and individuals! 

• Where: online: soon you will be able to visit this site for a resource directory and question/answer box. Additionally, the Rooted Behavior and Learning Collaborative Community has a facebook group which functions as a place for parents and caregivers to share questions and needs directly with each other. 

Long term:

If interest and involvement is high, this collaborative community could really grow! I am imagining free and low cost community events where resources can be shared and families can gather to meet other families in their area who might have similar needs and dynamics.
