Starting our summer round up with some Sensory Friendly Events in the Chicago Museums and Zoos. While we are so glad to see some events popping up, we will continue to advocate for more than just a few hours, a few times a year, all families deserve to access spaces in safe and supportive ways.

Intro post!
Hi its me, Amma (AM-UH) + I’m the face behind this account. I have been a social worker for 14 years and therapist for 11. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and NARM Master Therapist, meaning I have advanced and specialized training in developmental trauma. I owned and operated a private practice Brave Enough Therapy + Resonant Healing Co. from 2019- 2025 until taking time off to care for my neurodivergent family. As we’ve navigated life as a multiply neurodivergent and dynamically disabled family things have been hard even with my years of training and experience in the mental health world. I thought that if I was confused and overwhelmed others might be too. NDFG was born to stand in that gap and help families learn, connect and feel empowered in making decisions for their family. For insights on our parenting and family journey you can check out .motherhood. For resources, community gatherings and support services (Chicagoland and beyond) keep it here!

What if our kids grew up believing their innate human needs weren’t a burden? Or that having higher support needs wasn’t a reflection of their personal worth?

When we look at our neurodivergent family dynamics, it is so easy to fall into old, conditioned scripts about what it means to have and to express our needs. We are often taught to prioritize hyper-independence, viewing any reliance on others as a design flaw. But when we step back, we can begin to unlearn these harmful beliefs and shift our focus toward a healthier, more sustainable framework with our humanity at the center.

Which hits home for you right now?
