It’s me, Hi!
I’m an Autism Family Consultant and Specialist Speech and Language Therapist.
I’ve worked and cared for amazing Autistic children and young adults for over 25 years.
And to say I’m passionate A.F about Autism is an understatement!
My goal
💗 To empower you to see what an amazing and awesome parent you are.
💗 To give you knowledge and skills to support your child in a way that feels right.
💗 To help you move past the pressure to conform to neurotypical expectations.
💗 To have more time for your relationship and less resentment because you’re no longer fighting about how best to parent your Autistic child.
💗 To look forward to each day instead of wondering how bad it’s going to be.
Why?
🙋♀️ Because I’ve been there and I remember how lonely it felt.
🙋♀️ Desperately trying to get the support you need and running yourself into the ground managing your family’s unique needs.
🙋♀️ To question yourself and constantly feel the pressure to make your child conform.
💪But I remember how liberating it felt to finally let go of those expectations and to see our family thrive.
💪Now as young adults, my Autistic kids have blossomed into amazing individuals who are leading lives that suit their own unique personalities.
This is possible for your family too.
Introducing…
The Membership
Unlock confidence, knowledge and unwavering support.
The Membership is an exclusive club with access to support from Autism Affirming Professionals & a safe space to connect with Parents who just “get it”.
You’ll develop greater confidence in your parenting, and excitement about the possibilities for your family’s future.
If you’re after support, validation and a safe space with someone you can trust, then this is the place for you!
Empower your Parenting journey in an Autism-Affirming space, free from the constraints of neurotypical expectations.
You’ll have a community of other SEN Parents with you every step of the way as you navigate each chapter of your Autistic child’s life.
This is the membership I desperately needed years ago when I was in your shoes, and I’m so excited to be able to create it for you now.
“Confidence”
I am navigating Autism with my son as a single Mom - I have gained so much confidence and knowledge since meeting Lisa and learning about Autism Affirming strategies. I am excited to continue and grow …(in the membership).

Your child is not broken, they don’t need fixing.
I don’t doubt your parenting for one minute.
💗
But you might have lost your way and feeling defeated by all the waiting lists and gaslighting.
💗
All the negative reports and lists of red flags and deficits!
💗
I want to show you how to shake it off and find a new way forward.
💗
One that is Autism affirming and celebrates your child’s amazing and unique talents.
And I want to do it in a space that feels welcoming and inclusive.
Parents who work with me share these sentiments…
But let’s be honest.
Parenting an autistic child is no walk in the park and there are days when it can just feel too hard.

“Empowerment”
Without finding the support (in the Membership) I don’t know where we would have been…. It allowed me to really speak up and be confident during the process to put together Taya’s IDP (IEP) . I really like having a place to learn and speak to other parents who understand…because it can feel very lonely at times.

❌ You’re after a one off in depth training about Autism.
❌ You don’t enjoy memberships
❌ You don’t want to be part of a community of other parents.
I bet you have questions!
-
Absolutely not! My whole ethos is that we need to provide support for parents who are either on a ridiculously long waiting list or at the start of their diagnosis journey. You need help now, not in 12 months time. .
-
No. My job is not to diagnose your child or advise you on whether I think your child is Autistic. This is the job of a multi disciplinary team of professionals including a Clinical Psychologist who observe and assess your child over time. The guest professionals will also not be in a position to diagnose your child or tell you if they think your child is Autistic.
-
The online clinics and guest speakers will be a range of dates and times to meet everyone’s needs.
-
If our guest speaker is happy for us to record their presentation then yes, we will.
The Q and A part of the clinic will likely not be recorded due to the potentially personal nature of the questions.
-
The bite size learning sessions will be pre recorded and saved in your private Membership Site where you will be able to access them at any time.
-
An important part of the Autism Parenting Membership is connecting and sharing your journey with other parents who get it! You’ll be able to do this as little or as much as feels right to you. All clinic sessions will take place in zoom and there will be chance to ask questions and interact. We will also have a private Facebook Group where you will have the option to chat and share your experiences .
-
Due to the immediate access of the resources in the membership, we don’t give refunds.
However you can cancel your membership at any time.
After this you will no longer have access to the membership site, private Facebook group, videos and resources.
-
Simply email me before the date of that month’s payment at Autismfamilyconsultant@gmail.com
