Frequently Asked
Questions (FAQs)

Therapies & Approaches

1. Can therapy help with neurodevelopmental disorders?
Yes, therapy can be very helpful. It supports the development of essential skills, emotional regulation, and self-confidence. This helps children function better at home, in school, and in social settings.

2. How do you support neurodivergent children?
I provide personalized, strengths-based therapy tailored to each child’s profile. Support is available both in-person and online, and may include behavioural strategies, skill-building, emotional support, and family guidance.

 3. What therapeutic techniques do you use?

​

At Beyond Words, therapy is tailored to each child’s unique needs. I blend evidence-based approaches that are gentle, respectful, and neurodiversity-affirming. 

  • Sensory Integration 

  • Applied Behavioural Analysis

  • Play-Based Therapy 

  • TEACCH Approach

  • Movement & Art-Based Work

  • Parent Coaching

4. What emotional or behavioural concerns do you address?
I help children with concerns such as anxiety, low mood, school refusal, exam stress, bullying, peer relationship issues, emotional dysregulation, grief, adjustment difficulties, and low self-esteem. Support is tailored to each child using evidence-based approaches.

Neurodiversity & Assessments

5. How do I know if my child is neurodivergent?
You might notice your child learns, communicates, or handles situations differently than other children their age. This can include challenges with social skills, attention, sensory responses, or learning. Every child is unique, so signs may vary.

6. What types of neurodevelopmental differences do you support?​

I support children with:

  • Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)

  • Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)

  • Specific Learning Disorders (dyslexia, dyscalculia, dysgraphia)

  • Intellectual Disabilities (ID)

  • Speech and Communication Disorders

  • Motor Coordination Difficulties

  • Other neurodevelopmental needs​

7. Can you help identify if my child is neurodivergent?
I can help you understand your child’s strengths and challenges and guide you on the next steps. For a formal diagnosis, a full psychological assessment by a clinical psychologist or psychiatrist is necessary. Early support makes a big difference.

8. What does it mean if my child is “twice-exceptional” (2E)?
Twice-exceptional (2E) children have both high abilities in some areas and difficulties in others. For example, a child may be very creative or good at math, but struggle with reading or social interactions. Their strengths can sometimes hide their challenges, so spotting both is important.

Yes, I work closely with families, offering guidance and practical strategies to support your child’s progress at home and in daily life.

10. What kind of support do you offer for parents and caregivers?

Yes, practical advice and community support are offered to help families better understand and support their neurodivergent children.
