Help for Learning Disdabilities
Seek Professional Help
-
First, keep a detail record of behaviors that concern you or that seem atypical.
-
Present those records with your child's pediatrician, psychologist, or school team
-
Formally request evaluations and services.
Access Specialized Support
-
Depending on the nature of the learning disability, consider additional support such as tutoring, speech therapy, or occupational therapy.
-
Specialized professionals can provide targeted strategies, tips, and interventions to help your child overcome challenges.
Promote Self-Advocacy
-
Teach your child self-advocacy skills to help them communicate their needs and challenges with teachers and peers.
-
Encourage them to develop coping strategies for managing frustration and stress. Building resilience is an important aspect of managing a learning disability.
Establish and Maintain an IEP
-
Work closely with your child's school to develop an Individualized Education Plan (IEP), which outlines specific accommodations and services your child needs to support their learning. It may include extra time for assignments, or access to assistive technology.
Foster a Supportive Home Environment
-
Create a nurturing home environment that encourages your child's strengths and builds their self-esteem.
-
Offer help with homework and assignments, break tasks into manageable steps, and celebrate small achievements.
Access Supportive Groups
-
Connect with local or national organizations that provide resources and support for parents of children with learning disabilities.
-
These organizations often offer information, workshops, and a community of people facing similar challenges.

Promoting Proper Development from Conception Onward
It may very well "take a village to raise a child," but the days of villages, communities, and even extended families in raising children are long lost. Without built-in supports, many modern parents of the neurodivergent find themselves utterly exhausted, overwhelmed, lost, guilt-ridden, and burnt out.
​
NeurOm is here to help fill that void.
At NeurOm, our vision is to rekindle the spirit of the village in today's modern world, providing a robust and compassionate support system for parents and caregivers of neurodivergent children. We aspire to create a community that surrounds these families with unwavering support, understanding, and resources, enabling them to navigate the neurodivergent journey with resilience, hope, and the assurance that they are never alone.
​
Core Values
Community Reimagined: We believe in redefining the concept of 'it takes a village' for the modern age, building a virtual village that spans the globe and is there for every caregiver of a neurodivergent child.
​
Empathetic Connection: We are committed to fostering deep connections within our community, where empathy, active listening, and shared experiences create bonds that strengthen and uplift.
​
Resilience and Hope: We provide not just support but also a wellspring of hope and resilience to caregivers, helping them find strength in their journey.
​
Guidance and Resources: We offer a wealth of carefully curated resources, information, and expert guidance to empower caregivers with knowledge and options.
​
Inclusivity: Our village welcomes all, regardless of background, geography, or neurodivergent condition, and we celebrate the rich tapestry of diversity within our community.
​
Preventing Burnout: We are dedicated to ensuring that caregivers have the tools and support needed to prevent burnout, guilt, and overwhelm, promoting their own well-being as they care for their children.
​
Advocacy for Change: We advocate for a world where neurodivergent children and their families are fully embraced and supported, striving for systemic change in education, healthcare, and societal attitudes.
With this vision, NeurOm envisions a world where caregivers of neurodivergent children are no longer isolated or overwhelmed but are part of a thriving global village that stands by their side, offering strength, resources, and hope throughout their journey.

Product and Service Vetting
We've done the research and reviewing for you.
All products are selected to be: safe and non-toxic, comfortable for children with sensory uniqueness, development enhancing and developmentally appropriate, and easy to maintain and clean.
All services, classes, and therapies are vetted to best meet the developmental needs of children and to help ease the burdens of their parents.
​
Most importantly, the villagers only display products and services that we strongly believe will improve the quality of your and your neurodivergent children's lives. We only bother with the MUST HAVES or the SUPER HELPFUL!
