It's that mismatch that we were talking about.
And so I think that as a parent, we get messages that there's something wrong.
And you go into assessment because there's a problem.
There's something that is really, really tricky about your experience.
And you want things to be easier for your child.
And that's why we're going in for the assessment.
And so I think that it's a real conversation and it's our our responsibility as practitioners to really help parents to shift.
From there's a problem we need to fix to my child's brain might work differently.
And we're here to discover what that is so that I can change the way that I approach things as a parent, so that I can give advice to teachers and other people who work with my child to do things a little bit differently, and so that I can support my child in building skills they might need to navigate this world.
But we're balancing it from environmental, like how we're gonna change the environment and how adults can do things differently, and then how we're gonna support the child to learn what they need to learn.
to interact with the world.
So I think that going into the assessment process, really listening to podcasts like yours and looking for neurodiversity-affirming sources.
And I think that's a term that people have different levels of familiarity with, but really understanding what we mean by neurodiversity as opposed to a deficit understanding of a diet.
Diagnosis can really help shift your lens.
And then my hope is that the practitioner you're working with is going to help that conversation.
in your initial interview to start really looking at that we're trying to find that mismatch to turn the assessment process into a discovery process in that vein.
I think that knowing the questions to ask your assessor is really important.
One of the main questions I would recommend that people ask in going into assessment is what happens at the end?
What will you be telling me at the end?
Because if the answer is I'll be telling you what your child diagnosis is and it stops there, then the focus is not aligned with what we've been talking about.
