Quotes

  • “Kids with ADHD, autism are really providing a lot of additional support around what that is to live as a neurodivergent.” - Kimberly Barlett

  • “So, the beauty of play therapy is we get to see past their filter of explaining the story verbally. And we get to really get a deeper picture of what they've seen, done, or experienced because they're showing us, not just relying on their capacity to verbally explain things.” - Kimberly Barlett

  • “We're not trying to change people who are neurodivergent because there's nothing wrong with being neurodivergent, but it can cause challenges. So sometimes we target that and sometimes there are accompanying challenges like anxiety that come along.” - Kimberly Barlett
