Deer Creek Family Support & Therapy was born out of the desire to support neurodivergent families who were struggling to find professionals who truly understood them and what they were going through. Our passion is to meet children and their families where they are at, and maintain continual learning so we can best support our families. We have a special interest in PDA and take our learning from such professionals as Kristy Forbes, Donna Henderson, Ross Greene, NoPressurePDA, and SallyCat.
Our clinicians have a passion for Autism, PDA, FASD, and ADHD!
We are supporters of low-demand parenting, connected parenting, and understanding that children do well when they can. We do not support ABA approaches and believe that by advocating for supports and changing the environment and our responses, we can better support our children.
So often parents come to us exhausted, burnt out, and unsure what to do next. Every attempt has been made to support their child through traditional parenting techniques. Many are experiencing children who are easily upset, aggressive, loud, destructive, and unable to settle. We incorporate the CPS model of Ross Greene when applicable and the low-demand parenting approach for children who are struggling. Through the use of the plan B method, declarative language, and diving in to the way our children's brains work, we seek to help parents find a different way to approach their children (and themselves!) so children can better navigate the world around them. By seeking equity for our children and truly understanding their developmental skill ability, we can support them to flourish!
