It’s incredibly rewarding to see participants grow and connect through storytelling and shared adventure.
If you know a young neurodivergent female who loves imagination, storytelling and connecting with like-minded peers, this could be a wonderful fit.
I run a clinical therapeutic storytelling program at Affirming Care Services, a neuroaffirming therapeutic service supporting Autistic, ADHD and otherwise neurodivergent children and families.
Our groups are strengths-based and affirming, designed to build sensory and emotional capacity in ways that respect each child’s unique way of thinking and communicating.
On Saturdays, our Dungeons and Dragons group focuses on emotional regulation, flexible thinking, collaborative problem-solving and social connection — all within a structured, supportive environment.
It’s not just a game; it’s intentional, capacity-building work delivered through shared interests and play.
I have experience working with vulnerable kids experiencing pathological demand avoidance and rejection sensitive dysphoria and am adept at earning trust and keeping engagement.
