Hello, I'm Sara, a doctorate-level Occupational Therapist who has worked in pediatric care. Since 2009, I have been immersed in the world of children with special needs, focusing extensively on autistic children.
My journey into the world of occupational therapy was deeply personal. Inspired by my autistic brother, I developed a passion for supporting the neurodivergent community, particularly teens and adults, in enhancing their quality of life.
In 2017, I embarked on a new venture — a blog called Learning for a Purpose, dedicated to researching and sharing teaching strategies to help autistic teens learn life skills. This platform has allowed me to stay connected and contribute to the field, even while taking a break to embrace the joys of motherhood.
Now, as a mother, I am also raising a neurodivergent son, I bring not just professional expertise but a personal understanding to the table.
My philosophy revolves around a neurodiversity-affirming practice model, emphasizing choice, empathy, and compassion.
It's vital to me that every individual feels seen, heard, and valued.
I'm committed to continuous learning and growth, drawing insights from the autistic and broader neurodiverse community.
My mission is to ensure that every member of this platform knows they are not alone on this journey.
Do I need to be diagnosed as neurodivergent to join the membership?
No, you don't need a formal diagnosis to join. Our membership is open to anyone seeking to understand and enhance their life skills in a neurodiversity-affirming environment, whether you're neurodivergent, a caregiver, a professional, or someone looking to broaden their understanding.
How often is new content added to the membership platform?
I am committed to providing fresh, relevant content every month. Based on in-depth research and member feedback, we expand on existing topics and introduce new modules to ensure a comprehensive learning experience.
Is there a community aspect to the membership?
Is there a guarantee?
I can promise you that I will show up and deliver all of the great content and resources I’ve been going on about on this page, but your specific results will depend on you showing up, asking questions, and doing the work.
As a member, you’ll have every opportunity to tell me what you need, and I will do my best to create relevant resources for your needs and that of our entire community!
But you’re also not stuck! If the Neurodivergent Life Skills Toolbox isn’t the right fit for you, you can cancel your membership at any time. No hard feelings, promise!
Can I cancel my membership?
Absolutely! You can cancel at any time.
