ALONDRA ROGERS-CLEMENTS, DSW, MSW

My goal as a consultant for families, schools, and agencies serving Autistic children is to create a world where Autistic people are happy, safe and understood. 

​

I focus on problem solving, education about the Autistic experience, parent support including self-care and community care, trauma informed services, and needs of non-speaking Autistics. Using my unique experience as an Autistic person and mother of a non-speaking Autistic daughter and my education in clinical social work, I provide families, schools and agencies understanding of the individual, which is key to serving them, strengths-based problem solving, and advice on program and systems development. 

​

I am available for telephone and video consultation as well as in person trainings and consultation in the Pacific Northwest. I also offer limited speaking engagements.  

​

I'm based in Portland and spend my free time exploring, reading, and writing.
