Kathy Isaacs
I am passionate about providing support that puts the client's worldview, their family and their own loves and passions at the centre of their care - to allow people the space to be who they are, without imposed obligation or expectations.
My history of work as a registered nurse in palliative care and my lived experience as a woman with autism have uniquely prepared me for supporting autistic people of all ages within the healthcare system.
My particular role is in amplifying the autistic person’s own voice – however that is expressed – in order to enable their questions to be heard and their needs to be met. I offer a cultural translation service between the autistic patient and the medically trained personnel, exploring and providing the information they need to be able to trust the professional in front of them.
