About Neurosphere
We are Guillaume and Lisa, parents in Montreal building a community for families raising neurodivergent children. Neurosphere came out of our own first years: the long wait, the fragmented services, the expensive promises, and the need for a place where our child could play and grow at their own pace and where we could feel understood.
Our mission is to make useful knowledge easier to find and help parents feel less alone. The resources bring together practical guides, research and support options. The community brings parents together at calm meetups in Montreal. Government and local-service information is labelled by region.
Meet with us about your next step, or get in touch with a question.
Our service and benefits guides currently focus on Quebec. General educational resources are open to everyone; check local services and eligibility where you live.
What we believe
- Parents deserve support too. We help families find information and manageable next steps without making them responsible for doing everything.
- Useful help fits the situation. Region-specific information belongs alongside the services and government programs it describes.
- Honesty is the brand. Sources linked to claims, contested topics shown from both sides, corrections in public.
- Calm is a design decision. No red, no countdowns, no pop-ups, no photos of children.
- Autistic adults belong in the loop. We are recruiting an autistic adult reviewer for the identity and intervention pages.
Who does the work
Guillaume Racine handles development and operations. Lisa handles family experience and welcome at meetups. A special education coordinator and two facilitators with backgrounds in special education, play therapy and educational psychology run the children's side of meetups. Volunteer clinicians have supported us. We name people publicly only with their consent.
What we are not
Not a clinic, not a therapy provider, not a substitute for your pediatrician, and not affiliated with any venue or organization named on the site. We do not diagnose. We do not collect health information about children. The email list requires explicit consent and unsubscribes in one click.
Money
Neurosphere is independent and non-profit-minded. There are no ads, no sponsored pages, no affiliate links. If that ever changes, it will say so on this page first.
How to help
