Working hard to become Massachusetts' first neurodiversity affirming learning center.

Please don't hesitate to reach out to me via DMs. I'm hosting a casual Zoom call with a few local parents to discuss ideas and share experiences. If you're interested in joining, message me and I'll add you to the call or invite you to a future one. đź’ś
Hello everyone, I am writing to share a brief update regarding The Heard Center. The center is currently on pause due to a personal crisis that necessitates my full attention, but I remain committed to our mission. I am deeply passionate about creating an intentional “third space” for our amazing neurodivergent children – one that embodies acceptance, curiosity, and connection.
My vision for The Heard Center has always been to co-create a collaborative space WITH families, rather than solely FOR them – a space where autistic and neurodivergent children can experience genuine belonging, and their parents can find respite.
If you share this vision, I would be honored to stay connected as we embark on reimagining the next chapter. If you are a parent seeking a more tailored approach for your child, I would welcome the opportunity to hear from you and explore how we can support you. Let us work together to rebuild and create something truly extraordinary – one thoughtful, heart-led step at a time.
Please feel free to comment or send me a direct message if you would like to participate in the relaunch conversation or offer support.
With heartfelt gratitude, Katie.
