Our Neurodivergent Team:
Experienced, NDIS-Qualified, and Empowering
At Neurodivergent Empowered, every team member is neurodivergent and deeply committed to empowering our clients. As an experienced and qualified team of dedicated, passionate neurodivergent individuals, our journey is enriched by our collective roles as parents, professionals, and advocates within the neurodivergent community.
Our team members have not only developed the skills, strategies, and supports that empower them to live authentic, fulfilled lives, but they also meet all the necessary requirements for working in regulated environments, such as the NDIS. This includes fulfilling all role responsibilities, from administrative tasks to compliance with the highest standards of care.
We’ve recognised the need for a safe, neurodivergent-affirming space where individuals can find comfort for their nervous systems and confidently explore their unique identities. Each team member serves as a living example of how neurodivergent individuals can thrive. They have navigated environments that weren’t designed for their brains, sensory systems, or nervous systems and have emerged as role models who are fully equipped to support and guide our clients.
Our mission is to provide a sanctuary where neurodivergent individuals and their families can embrace their true selves. Through neurodivergent-affirming therapeutic approaches, we empower individuals to thrive in a society that often holds neurotypical expectations. The personal and professional growth of our team members allows them to offer mentorship, guidance, and practical strategies, ensuring they meet the diverse needs of those they support.
Our lived experience and shared understanding ensure that we can guide our clients in an affirming, supportive way. This alignment of experience and expertise helps clients explore their authenticity, embrace their neurodivergent identities, and foster well-being in all aspects of life.
