Video Stories
Hear from families sharing their experiences and journeys with neurodiverse children.
Video-Story Program Details
Our signature program that connects families through shared experiences.
The Video-Story Program engages self-advocates, caregivers, parents and family members of children with neurodiversity in an opportunity to tell an important story in their family life. Families with similar lived experience participate in a two-stage facilitated Video-Story process, first co-creating a video-story with our trained facilitator, and then sharing their story with other families in Video-Story Circles.
