Neuro-affirming Groups for children, teens, adults, & families
At NeurodiversOTy, we believe meaningful connection starts with being understood, accepted, and supported to be yourself.
Our groups bring people together through shared interests, experiences, and opportunities to learn, connect and participate in ways that feel authentic to them.
Whether you’re looking for friendships, practical life skills, building greater understanding, or a community that just ‘gets it’, there will be something for you.
Our groups aren’t designed to change who you are but to create opportunities where you can thrive to be yourself.

FAQ’s
-
No. We do however match our groups based on shared interests, and goals . For our Kid & Teen groups our process is to have a parent meeting first, and an initial meet and greet with the group member so that we can pair them up with the right people, determine which group is the right fit, and whether there are some skills and knowledge the group member needs to learn first before commencing group. We do this to support a smooth and successful transition into group and overall make therapy an enjoyable and non-scary process.
As always, welcome to ask us more questions :)

This is why we follow our usual initial process (explained in above question). Once we determine the right supports, we will do our best to collaborate with the group member and their family to make it happen. It may mean extra staff, parents to join in, more individual sessions first to explore more tools to have ready for group, or a more clearly defined regulation space. Importantly, we will try to meet them where they are at.
-
Age ranges are a guide. Group composition, skills, interests, and support needs are considered.
-
Yes. Expression of interests help us plan future programs, although we cannot guarantee when they will commence.
-
It all depends on the group, amount of members, duration, staffing, delivery format, and resources required. We will provide current pricing and payment information before enrolment once members are identified and EOI are placed.
