ROOTS - Course One. The science. The profiles. The map.

ROOTS is where everything begins — and where most coaching programs stop short. Before you learn a single coaching technique, you learn the neuroscience. Not as theory you file away, but as lived understanding you can feel in your own body and recognize in the person across from you. You'll spend eight weeks inside the science that actually explains what's happening for neurodivergent clients: the autonomic nervous system, polyvagal theory, the window of tolerance, the four survival responses — and why shame, inconsistency, and what looks like resistance are almost always biology, not character. Then comes the landscape. Every major ND profile — ADHD, autism, AuDHD, dyslexia, giftedness, HSP, and more — covered honestly. Not as diagnostic categories to memorize, but as human patterns to recognize. The overlaps. The co-occurrences. The late diagnoses. The people who don't fit neatly anywhere. And then the SNIP™ Framework: five domains where neurodivergent brains create friction, and where they produce extraordinary strength. You'll map your own friction profile before you map anyone else's. ROOTS ends with one truth that changes how you coach everything after it: The behaviour is not the problem. The behavior is information. By the end of this module, you see differently. That's the point.
