Hi, I’m Adina!
I teach Neurodiversity Affirming Practice to professionals who support neurodivergent children.
Neurodivergent children of today and tomorrow deserve to feel understood, connected, and to thrive. And we can all play a part in this with Neurodiversity Affirming approaches.
I’m Adina Levy, an Autistic ADHDer, Speech Therapist, Professional Educator & Speaker.

You’re ready to challenge ‘the way things have always been done’, ready to deconstruct your assumptions about how to teach and support children, and ready to try new strategies and approaches.
