I am meeting with clients (adults and children) both in-person and remotely using a secure, HIPAA-compliant platform.
Michelle Avery Ferguson currently has a waitlist for new clients.
About
I'm accepting names for Neurodiversity Parenting, beginning January 23. Regrettably, I'm unable to take new clients at this time. I'm committed to helping kids, adults and families experience greater enjoyment in their relationships and increased competence and resilience at home, school, work and play. I provide treatment services to children, adults, and families. With the nervous system in mind, I help clients to increase their ability to cope with stressors. I address concerns about a child's attention, learning, behavior and social and emotional development, and help families who are feeling stuck find new ways of relating.
I specialize in working with neurodivergent children and adults (individuals with brain-based differences such as Autism, ADHD, learning disabilities, and sensory challenges), and with parents/caregivers of children with disabilities.
I have had the privilege of working with children, families, and people with disabilities across the lifespan for over twenty years. I honor diversity in all its forms and strive to make every person with whom I work feel welcomed, affirmed, and respected.

Michelle Avery Ferguson's Groups
Neurodiversity Parenting
Neurodiversity is the concept that differences in neurology and brain functioning are a natural part of our diversity as a species. Neurodiversity Parenting is a unique online class and parent group designed for parents of school-age children with autism, ADHD, sensory differences, learning disabilities, or other brain-based differences. This unique experience will give you new ways to understand and respond to your child's behavior, greater confidence in your parenting, and support on your parenting journey. Registration fee of $400 covers 8 sessions. One or two parents/caregivers may attend for a single registration fee. The next session starts in January 2023.
