• We advocate for inclusion
• We facilitate self-advocacy skills

• We take a strengths-based approach
• We respect each clients autonomy
• We respectfully appreciate intersectionality in both ourselves and our clients & work to unpack any privilege we may have
• We are committed to racial equity
• We are LGBTQIA+ affirmative
• We actively seek out CPD, research and learnings from neurodivergent adults
• We use identity-first language while respecting individual clients preferences
