Our Support
The needs of neurodiverse students don’t fit nicely into a prescheduled hour, that’s why Diverse Minds Advocacy doesn’t charge by the hour.
We offer a menu of service levels to select from based on where you are on your unique journey. All packages center around our outcomes-oriented approach to communications.
On-Going Support
Messaging Subscription
Includes:
- Ongoing email review and revision
- “Before you send” support
- Light doc feedback
This plan is great for: Families who need a light polish on email communications for impact. This plan works best if the family already has a set strategy in terms of what they want from the school, and just need a strategic review of email communications to ensure they’re making an impact with each engagement.
Light Strategic Support
Includes:
- Twice monthly 50-minute progress and problem-solving calls
- Review and revision of emails to school or other provider (up to two per month)
This plan is great for: Families that have a solid working relationship with their school but feel they aren’t getting everything their child deserves. These families aren’t necessarily engaged in a high-stakes moment, but they know there is more they could be doing
Moderate Support
Includes:
- Weekly 30-minute progress and problem-solving calls
- Review and revision of emails to school or other provider (up to four per month)
- Attendance at school meetings (1 per month)
This plan is great for: Families that are just starting their advocacy journey and need solid direction at most-to-all communications touchpoints with the school, or families that are concerned about their relationship with school administrators and need help getting what they want, without burning bridges.
High Support
Includes:
- Weekly 50-minute progress and problem-solving calls
- Review and revision of emails to school or other provider (up to two per week)
- Attendance at school meetings (2 per month)
This plan is great for: Families that are struggling to engage positively with the school. The stakes are high, the communication is fraught and non-productive, and serious intervention is needed.
Concierge
Includes:
- Twice weekly 50-minute progress and problem-solving calls
- Review and revision of emails to school or other provider (unlimited)
- Attendance at school meetings (4 per month)

Short Term Engagements and Add-Ons
Crisis Navigation

- Emergency doc review
- Strategy call
- Email/script drafting
- Prep for next interaction
- 24-hour turn around support
- Text engagement with coach
This plan is great for: Families who just got blindsided (discipline, placement change, denied services) and need intensive support for a distinct period of time. Maximum commitment is two months. If support is still needed after two months, the client will move to a semester package.
School Relationship Reset
Includes:
- Communication audit
- Reframing strategy
- Drafting a “+reset+” communication plan
- Coaching parent tone + positioning
This plan is great for: Families who already have a toxic relationship with school administrators and need intervention to move the relationship to a more productive space. These families are engaged in a high-conflict relationship that needs to be completely reset.
War Room Prep

- Scenario prep: “+What the school will likely say+”
- Scripted parent responses
- Red flag coaching

- 90-minute training session
