The most exhausting part of being twice-exceptional isn't usually the neurodivergence itself—it is the years of "masking," and the isolation of feeling like you don't fit into the "gifted" or "disabled" boxes exclusively.
At Exceptional Like Me, we believe that true success isn't just about academic or professional achievement; it’s about identity. This service is a dedicated space to dismantle the shame often associated with neurodivergence and replace it with a framework of self-knowledge, legal literacy, and community pride.
This isn't just theory; it is mentorship grounded in active community leadership. As an organising committee member of the Sydney Disability Pride Festival, Olivia brings a direct connection to the neurodivergent community and a deep understanding of disability rights.
Learning exactly how to request accommodations in school or the workplace—and understanding the legal frameworks that support those rights.
Working through the "late-diagnosis" timeline to separate your true self from the coping mechanisms you built to survive.
Guidance from someone who has navigated the same top-performing schools, elite universities, and professional hurdles you are currently facing.
Navigating the paperwork for HSC accommodations can feel overwhelming. Olivia has extensive experience coordinating this process within schools, and understands the exact documentation NESA requires, how to fill out the forms, and what accommodations students can realistically apply for and expect to receive. She can help you streamline the application process to ensure your teenager gets the right scaffolding for their senior exams.
A $20/hour discount is offered on all sessions held between 10am–2pm on weekdays during NSW school term periods. Availability is limited, as these slots are offered around an active teaching schedule.
