The Brain Forest

If you're looking for resources that truly see neurodivergent kids and their families, let us introduce you to Sandhya Menon from Onwards and Upwards Psychology. Based in Naarm/Melbourne, Sandhya is a neurodivergent psychologist whose work is as heart-led as it is insightful.

Sandhya brings a unique blend of professional expertise and lived experience to her practice. She's the creative force behind beloved resources like The Brain Forest and The Rainbow Brain, which celebrate neurodiversity through vibrant storytelling and affirming messages.

At Onwards and Upwards Psychology, Sandhya and her proudly neurodiverse team focus on supporting neurodivergent children and their families in connecting to their inner shine and whole-hearted selves. Their approach is all about understanding and embracing the unique ways each brain works, rather than trying to fit into a one-size-fits-all model.

While her workshops aren't offered through the Neurodiversity Toolbox, we're thrilled to feature Sandhya's accessible, neurodiversity-affirming resources. They're designed to empower families, educators, and clinicians to support neurodivergent individuals in ways that are respectful, inclusive, and effective.

Sandhya's work is a beacon for those seeking to build more understanding and supportive environments for neurodivergent children. Her resources don't just inform - they inspire.
