At the heart of Trincity, a beacon of support for neurodivergent learners shines brightly, led by Samona Davis, a dedicated behaviour analyst and autism consultant. As the founder of AIDE Consulting, Samona has devoted herself to transforming the lives of children with autism and their families through personalized behavioural support.
Autism, a complex neurodevelopmental disorder, presents unique challenges, such as difficulties in social communication, sensory processing, and behavioural regulation. Children with autism might struggle to express their wants, thoughts, and feelings, often finding alternative means to communicate. This can sometimes lead to behaviours such as tantrums or property destruction, manifestations of their unmet needs and sensory or processing differences.
“Our approach recognizes each child’s potential and respects their individuality,” says Samona. “We work closely with families to develop strategies that help these children communicate more effectively and positively engage with their environment.”
Decades ago, autism was misunderstood and often misclassified as a psychotic disorder, and many autistic individuals were tragically shunned from society. Today, through awareness and understanding, practices like AIDE Consulting are changing this narrative, ensuring children receive the dignity and support they deserve.
For parents seeking guidance in raising a neurodivergent child, AIDE Consulting offers services not only at their clinic but also at home and in school environments, ensuring a comprehensive support system. If you or someone you know could benefit from AIDE’s services, reach out at 687-7817.
In Trincity, Samona Davis and AIDE Consulting continue to advocate for acceptance and understanding, striving to foster a community where every child can thrive.
