We are committed to supporting and valuing the strengths of neurodivergent children, their parents, and our neurodivergent staff. This includes those who identify as neurodivergent without a formal diagnosis. We strive to provide neuro-affirming care, and avoid describing neurodiversity using the medical model or ‘disordered’ language. Our staff are trained to provide neuro-affirming care and we recognise that our learning is constant and evolving.

We understand that gender occurs on a continuum and respect each individuals right to choose the pronouns that best reflect them. We will ask you for your pronouns and should we make an error in their use, we will apologise, ask for guidance, and work hard to ensure our language is accurate and respectful.

We understand that sleep practices vary between and within cultures. We approach cultural differences in sleep with an open heart and willingness to learn.

We acknowledge the ancient generational wisdom of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, and their continued connection to family, land and culture. We work and live on Aboriginal land across Australia and acknowledge that sovereignty was never ceded. It always was, and always will be, Aboriginal land.

We are lifelong learners. If you have feedback on how we can improve inclusivity in our service, please contact us: hello@childrenssleep.com.au
