Community
Partnerships
Great things happen when the whole community understands and welcomes neurodiverse kids.
Our Community Partnership offering takes two forms:
Child-Centered
Coaching
We accompany your child into places like the dentist, library, church, or zoo, guiding staff on the spot so everyone learns together.
Inclusive Training for Organizations
Businesses, nonprofits, schools, or civic groups can bring Mel in for speaking engagements or staff workshops that make their spaces truly welcoming to all.
Child-Centered Coaching
Real-world practice, right where it matters.
We meet you at the setting—sit in the dental chair, shelve books, explore the sensory trail—and break each experience into small, achievable steps. While your child gains comfort and skills, we model strategies for staff: clear expectations, gentle prompts, visual aids, and sensory supports.
Customized workshops & presentations.
Libraries, museums, employers, faith communities, and healthcare offices invite Mel to lead interactive sessions on autism awareness, sensory-friendly adaptations, positive behavior supports, and communication tips.
Growing together.
As confidence builds, we lengthen visits, add new tasks, and celebrate milestones like a full dental exam or a successful volunteer shift. The result? A child who feels at home in the community—and community members who know how to support every family that walks through the door.
Inclusive Training for Organizations
Practical, actionable guidance.
Participants leave with ready-to-use tools—check-in visuals, calm-down areas, scheduling tweaks, language scripts—and the confidence to make their services accessible to neurodiverse individuals and families.
Why Choose Community
