What Drives Her Passion for Lifespan Care?
Danielle’s commitment to lifespan care for neurodevelopmental individuals is fueled by a desire to improve outcomes across all life stages. Driven by years of clinical experience, research, and a deep understanding of the brain's complexities, she aims to reduce systemic misunderstandings that lead to missed support opportunities, particularly during critical life transitions. Her mission centers on:
Bridging the gap between research and clinical practice.
Equipping Health Professionals with evidence-based tools to enhance patient outcomes especially during crucial transitions.
Championing early, strengths-focused interventions that ensure consistent support and unlock the full potential of neurodivergence throughout an individual’s life.
