Disability & Accommodation Consulting
Up to 20% of all children are neurodivergent, but few companies understand how to best accommodate the needs of this population and create a sensory-friendly environment in which they can learn, grow, and thrive. Better yet, by creating more inclusive processes and spaces, your services are more accessible to all families.
Many companies and organizations are investing in Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion initiatives, but Accommodation is a crucial need to ensure every child is equally represented and supported.
Kira will work with your team to identify your goals, develop a customized plan for addressing your needs, and support the implementation of protocols to improve your environment and offerings.
How Kira can help
A pediatric dentist’s office wants to improve the experience for their clients, especially neurodivergent and disabled children.
Kira would work with them to create a video “learning story” to add to their website to prepare children for visits, advise their team on planning a monthly open house event for families to visit the facility before their appointment, and provide training in sensory processing differences for their staff to accommodate their clients’ needs better.
A kids’ play gym wants to add a “sensory friendly” movement class to its offerings.
Kira would observe a current class to identify pain points, collaborate with their director of programming to redesign their current curriculum with sensory needs in mind, and provide staff training on specific strategies to implement the new program.
A children’s museum wants to better accommodate the needs of families of children with special needs.
Kira would work with their director of client relations to learn more about families’ specific needs, create a disability module for their staff onboarding program, and consult in an ongoing capacity as new families need to access their facilities and services.
