Neurodivergent Advocacy & Therapeutic Services
Welcome, I'm Kate Boot (she/her), neurodivergent Speech and Language Therapist and the person behind Neurodivergent Advocacy & Therapeutic Services.
​
With an approach rooted in a commitment to the Neurodiversity Paradigm (Walker, 2014), Disability Justice (Sins Invalid, 2005) and Anti-Oppressive Practice (Dominelli, 1990s; Mullaly, 2002) principles, I work with autistic and ADHD people, their families, education providers and workplaces.
Values-Led Practice
I provide Neurodivergent Advocacy and Therapeutic Services to individuals, families, clinicians, educators, and employers who are navigating neurodivergence. Combining lived experience, Speech and Language Therapy and Sensory Integration, I foster a neurodiversity-affirming and intersectionality-focused approach to authenticity.
​
My practice is both trauma-sensitive and grounded in social justice, utilising an intersectional lens to address the environmental and systemic factors contributing to individual and collective stress and oppression.​
Through a collaborative and holistic therapeutic process, I work with neurodivergent individuals, families, and professionals to foster environments that embrace diversity, affirm intersectional identities, and challenge systemic inequities. Through consultation, workshops, and collaborative programs, I aim to support meaningful change and leadership grounded in inclusion, strength, and justice.
​
Whenever I'm asked to summarise my values, I struggle because I resonate with so many, however, they often group together and so below you will see some of the overarching values that inform my way of working.
