Empowering neurodivergent people through understanding and conversation
Guidance Package
The More Than Quirky Guidance Package is a flexible offering that provides tailored support for you and your child.
It can also be fully adapted to coach- or teacher-student needs, for grandparents or other relatives, or for any other important adult in a neurodivergent child’s life.
Is The Guidance Package What I Need?
The Guidance Package is a good fit for you if:
Investigating
A teacher, carer, family friend, medical professional, etc, has suggested your child might be neurodivergent. This could include spotting traits of autism, ADHD, dyslexia, dyspraxia, noticing ticks or stims, observing learning or social differences, and more
Confirmed
Your child is confirmed as neurodivergent and is receiving medication and/or therapies, but isn’t thriving; and/or you don’t feel you’ve been given enough information or support; and/or they weren’t assessed in a way that gives you any insight into how their brain works, which areas are causing them difficulty, or what accommodations they might need
Communication
Your child’s school, health providers, clubs, or extra-curricular activities, need additional information or support to help your child thrive; or you need support when approaching them for positive or negative reasons
Personal
You have noticed something along these lines yourself, and are wondering if it’s worth looking into
Curious
You or your spouse is neurodivergent, and you want to figure out which of your child’s behaviours are innate (and neurodivergent) or learned!
Positive
You aren’t sure if the strategies and techniques you have been encouraged to use are neuroaffirming, and you’d like to learn more
Struggling
You’re struggling in any way related to your child’s neurodivergence, and want support making life easier for you, your child, and your family
What’s Included?
The More Than Quirky Guidance Package is comprised of five (5) stages:
Foundation Session
This is your opportunity to chat, vent, cry, laugh, share, or anything else you feel you need to do! During this 1 hour chat I will build a comprehensive profile of your child, their traits and behaviours, any known neurodivergencie, and how this impacts on them and on you / your family. It’s a judgement-free zone, for getting to know and understand your situation, and for you to brain-dump safely.
This session can be conducted on Zoom, or at a café or in a park on the Upper North Shore. It is a casual catch-up rather than a formal meeting, interview, or assessment. I strongly recommend that it involves cake and coffee!
Insight & Empowerment Report
This includes:
A summary of what you have shared
An overview of the traits and behaviours demonstrated by your child
Insight into these traits, how (if) they can be indicative of neurodivergence, why they might be occurring, and any strategies or techniques you can apply to reduce any dysregulation, hurt, or difficulties around them
Thoughts around pursuing this further with your GP, paediatrician, or other medical professional, and what specific supports or assessments you might want to ask for
Recommendations for next steps
Information about related and statistically relevant conditions
Links to resources, including support for both the parent(s) and child.
Wellbeing
Wellbeing Check-In Emails will give you the opportunity to shout for help if needed, share any progress or concerns, and let me know how things are going. It’s also an opportunity to book further meetings or packages with More Than Quirky for:
a more detailed look into something specific
help with school in terms of conversations with LaST, IEP conversations and/or development, or attending meetings to support you to achieve your goals
scripts and blueprints to ensure GPs and other medical professionals are validating your experience and providing adequate support for you and your child
starting the process for another child.
Reach Out
You will have the option of booking up to four 15 minute Zoom or phone calls with me, at no additional cost, to talk about the report, discuss any concerns or glitches, or ask questions you’ve encountered since our initial meeting. This can be via Zoom, phone, WhatsApp, or email.
Reflection
A Reflection Session, which can be completed via online form, or on Zoom or in person will not only inform me as to what else I could provide to assist you, but will provide valuable feedback to continually improve what More Than Quirky offers; you will be able to share your own experience, as well as helping other parents and kids in a similar situation.
