Autism advocacy and support for every family, with a focus on marginalised and underrepresented communities
Grounded Advocate provides compassionate, practical autism advocacy and support for every family, with a focus on marginalised and underrepresented communities. From diagnosis and EHCPs to everyday life, you’ll find guidance that respects your family’s culture, needs and lived experience.
Meet Yvonne
I’m Yvonne, founder of Grounded Advocate. I truly understand how overwhelming it can feel to navigate autism, especially if you’re a new parent or have a relative supporting a family member while also facing racism, stigma, or cultural misunderstandings. As a Black woman, parent, and advocate, I support families from underrepresented and marginalised communities to feel seen, heard, and equipped — so you don’t have to face the system alone.
How I Support Your Family
Early Years Diagnosis Support
Practical, compassionate guidance through the first months of an autism journey — especially for families from underrepresented and marginalised communities who may face stigma, language barriers, or mistrust of services.
EHCP Advocacy & Support
Clear, step-by-step support with EHCP applications, evidence, and meetings — so your child’s needs are heard and recorded, with advocacy that understands cultural bias and systemic barriers.
Culturally Responsive Parent Coaching
1:1 coaching that honours your culture, faith, and family dynamics — creating practical strategies for home, school, and community while holding space for stigma, shame, and burnout.
