Family and Education Support – Growing Connection in Neurodivergent Families
Neurodivergent-affirming parent coaching and home education support grounded in connection, nervous system wisdom, and trust.
Walking with you through the wild and tender path of parenting differently.
Parenting a neurodivergent child—especially one with PDA, Autism, ADHD, with complex needs, trauma history, or sensory differences—can feel isolating, overwhelming, and like none of the usual advice fits. You might find yourself questioning everything, yearning for connection, and wondering if you're the only one doing things differently.
I know that place.
My own shift from conventional parenting approaches to a more relational, nervous system-informed path was anything but easy. It was lonely. I doubted myself constantly. It felt like I was swimming against the current—especially when others didn’t understand or share my perspective. What I needed was someone to walk beside me.

Together, we’ll move beyond conventional strategies toward something more responsive:
Rooted in relationship.
Grounded in nervous system wisdom.
Centred on trust.
Before I became a parent, I was confident, capable, and in control. I was a teacher in French Immersion classrooms, well-versed in education theory and child development.

I am immensely grateful for Danielle's expertise and dedication. Her personalized approach and wealth of knowledge, particularly with PDA learners, have been invaluable. It was evident that she was fully committed to comprehending not only our children's educational needs but also our family dynamics and unique goals.
Danielle patiently guided me through a steep learning curve after deciding to homeschool my son after a traumatic public school experience. Her expertise and experience were just what I needed to help get my feet under me. I needed a lot of reassurance since my son has complex learning needs.
Our family has been blessed to have Danielle Rodda in our lives, her wealth of knowledge and unconditional understanding has taken a huge weight off our shoulders. She sees you, she hears you and she is there for you. Her knowledge and understanding has been a beacon of light assisting our family to navigate through all the uncertainties that have arisen over the years. She has brought great peace to our lives so we can focus on enjoying our family. I highly recommend utilizing her consulting services!
Danielle developed customized learning plans for our microschool while holding the heart of homeschooling and the needs of each child in mind. She mentored our EA to establish gentle routines and help support specific learning goals. Our experience was profoundly enriching.
Danielle has been supporting our homeschool classroom for a year and a half. Most of the kids in the class present with PDA.
She’s been a wealth of information, has an abundance of resources and she genuinely cares for each child.
Danielle understands PDA, how it effects a child’s learning and how to make the necessary accommodations for growth.
Thank you so much for the support Danielle.
