THE NEURO-AFFIRMING ZONE
Where Uncertainty Becomes Confidence: A Gentle and Ongoing Mentoring Space for Therapists Embracing Neurodiversity-Affirming Practice
Finally, a safe and grounded place to grow your confidence in neurodiversity-affirming therapy.
The Neuro-Affirming Zone is a monthly mentoring membership for therapists who care deeply and want to do better but feel unsure where to start.
Inside this warm and connected space, you will move from doubt and confusion to clarity, alignment, and pride in the way you show up for neurodivergent clients.
What You’ll Receive:
Monthly live group coaching Q&A sessions with a neuro-affirming mentor who understands real-life therapy
Replays available anytime in your private member portal
A supportive therapist-only WhatsApp group for connection between sessions
Affirming and practical support for the tricky topics including goals, reports, parent conversations, and more
Exclusive member discounts on all Adult Learning Zones workshops
You Can Expect To:
Feel genuinely confident in your neurodiversity-affirming practice
Gently shift how you write goals, run sessions, and advocate without losing yourself
Respond to parent questions with clarity and care
Stand steady in your values, even when it feels hard
Feeling stuck, unsure, or afraid of doing harm?
You are not alone.
You know affirming practice matters. Yet the “how” still feels messy.
You may be scared of getting it wrong or unsure how to shift without feeling like a fraud.
Maybe your old reports make you cringe.
Maybe other professionals or families want you to “fix” your client and it shakes your confidence.
You do not need perfection.
You need a place to grow with support and safety.

This is not just about theory. It is about learning how to practise in a way that feels right.
Topics we explore together:
Creating affirming and client-centred goals that reflect autonomy and identity
Designing sessions that support regulation and celebrate strengths
Navigating hard conversations with families using kindness and clarity
Writing reports that are ethical, empowering, and easy to understand
Rebuilding your confidence after years of traditional approaches
Staying grounded in your values when others question your work
Each month is shaped by the needs of our community.
Workshops and new topics will grow with the community.

ABOUT YOUR MENTOR
Hi, I’m Di Van Der Walt. I am a Neurodiversity-Affirming Practice Mentor, speech therapist, educator, and a heartfelt advocate for inclusive care.
I support allied health professionals, parents, and business owners to move from overwhelm to confidence. I do this by helping them create therapy, communication, and support systems that truly honour neurodivergent children and the people who care for them.
Through mentoring, training, community, and gentle guidance, I walk alongside people as they step away from outdated models. Together, we move toward approaches that feel safer, more connected, and far more effective. When we stop trying to fix children and instead learn to listen, honour, and empower them, everything changes.
I have spent more than 15 years working with families and clinicians. I also founded Perth Hills Allied Health to be a place where children and therapists feel supported to grow. Today, I guide others to build spaces like this through a calm, caring, and clear approach.
If you are a therapist craving more alignment in your practice, a parent who wants to feel grounded and informed, or a business owner who leads with heart rather than hustle, then I want you to know you are in the right place.
Let’s build something meaningful together.
