Community Engagement Specialist

**Description**:
**About Us**

InTune Pathways is an autistic led company supporting the autistic and broader neurodivergent community. We design, develop and deliver programmes; and facilitate communities for a range of clientele, including individuals (Autistic, ADHD, PDA, etc) and their families.

Our community includes but is not limited to individuals, families, allied health professionals, educators and organisations looking to build on their professional development around neurodivergence. Alongside our online education programmes, we have created principled and inclusive spaces for individuals and families to share in the development and exploration of neurodivergent identity and culture; away from the medical model.

Our Director, Kristy Forbes, is an educator and neurodivergent support specialist in the Autistic community and is passionate about supporting families and individuals through radical acceptance, social change and education.

We challenge long held beliefs and assumptions about autism and ADHD, and our work and education is political. We are committed to decolonisation and anti-racism in our work, we are LGBTQIA+ embracing, and we understand that equity, equality, advocacy, activism and any form of social justice must be intersectional.

The communities we facilitate and work within require gentleness, kindness, patience and a willingness on our part to listen and learn about experiences other than our own whilst reserving judgement.

Many of our clients have been system impacted and/or have experienced systemic oppression as a direct result of neuronormative medical models of therapy, education and care.

We seek to dismantle, hold space for and witness recovery in the form of thriving neurodivergent individuals and families; and by educating professionals to create change in the delivery of their services.
