Resource Navigation

"OK Google:  Who do I call when my school isn't following my son's IEP?"

"OK Google:  I think my child might have ADHD, but I am not sure.  Where can I get her assessed?"  

OK Google... 

If you were surprised by how little information is readily available when you need specific supports for your family, then you're certainly not alone.  

Unfortunately our social services are so underfunded, under resourced, and overworked, that it's difficult enough for agencies to keep up with demand, let alone direct people to the right places.  

  

That's where we can help. 

ADHD 2e Pro can assist you in navigating our health, social services, and education systems as it relates to finding resources and supports for disabilities and neurodiversity.  

We can guide you through:

  1. Seeking assessment and/or diagnosis 
  2. Support and advocacy 
  3. Student planning (SSPs, IEPs, BIPs, etc.)
  4. Finding appropriate resources
  

We also have a wealth of both local and online resources listed on our website, as well as a page to help guide families with the process of self-advocacy.  

Our services are available on a sliding scale based on household income.  

Please contact us to inquire.
