Our Team
The specialists and advocates supporting your family.
Why We Built NeuroAffirm Family
As parents of neurodivergent children, we know what it's like to feel uncertain — facing conflicting advice, struggling to advocate at school, and never quite sure if you're doing enough or investing in the right things.
The support our kids needed existed, but it was scattered across specialists who didn't talk to each other, school systems that felt like mazes, and a patchwork of therapies and evaluations that no one helped us make sense of. We weren't looking for more providers. We were looking for someone to help us see the whole picture.
That's why we created NeuroAffirm Family — a single team that guides families from assessment to support services, helps you navigate school systems, and coordinates the care your child needs. Not because we do everything ourselves, but because we make sure everything works together.
That belief shapes how we show up — both as parents and as professionals.
