A little about Diana

I work alongside neurodiverse children, teens, and adults across Adelaide's southern suburbs and beyond.

Everyone experiences the world differently, and I take that seriously. I try to look past quick labels and actually understand what someone is communicating, and what they need.

I work alongside families to share practical tools for everyday life. I want it to feel like a space where children and their carers can be curious, play, connect, and yes, even make mistakes.

Diana works wherever your child feels most comfortable: at home, at school, or via telehealth.
