When we slow down, listen differently, and honour the many ways people with 22q think and learn, relationships flourish. 🌱

People with 22q communicate in wonderfully diverse ways. Some think visually, some need extra processing time, and many benefit from clear, concrete language.
✨ When we make space for these differences, everyone has a fair chance to participate and belong.

This week, we’re spotlighting simple, supportive strategies that help individuals with 22q feel confident, understood, and connected in their families, schools, and communities.

✨ Together, we can build communities where neurodiversity isn’t just accepted — it’s respected and celebrated.

Families are at the heart of every 22q journey.
Caregivers show up with courage, love, advocacy, and perseverance.
Siblings learn to navigate big feelings, big responsibilities, and deep compassion.

But families can’t pour from an empty cup.
Parents need connection, understanding, and spaces where they’re not alone.
Siblings need support too — a chance to be heard, reassured, and included.

✨ Belonging strengthens everyone — children, siblings, and parents alike.
Check out our Care4Parents program https://www.22qminded.com/product/care4parents-training-with-sasja-duijff-feb2026/ and also, in April 2026 we will hold our first webinar about Siblings and 22q https://www.22qminded.com/product/webinar-siblings-and-22q/

Friendship is more than knowing what to say —
it’s feeling seen, welcomed, and included. 💛
Friends
Many people with 22q want strong friendships, but differences in social thinking can make connections harder to navigate.

✨ When families, schools, and communities understand these differences, belonging becomes possible.

Feeling understood. Feeling welcomed. Feeling safe to be exactly who you are — belonging matters. 💚

For many people with 22q, connection grows strongest in supportive spaces:
families who see their strengths,
friends who include them,
schools and communities that embrace neurodiversity.

✨ Belonging isn’t about changing to fit — it’s about being valued just as you are. This week, we celebrate the power of safe people and safe places in every 22q journey.

Resilience shows up in so many ways — in the child learning to use new words, the teen navigating friendships, the adult advocating for their needs, and the families supporting every step.

✨ Strength is not the absence of challenges — it’s the ability to grow through them.

This week, we honour the resilience within every 22q journey.

Children and adults with 22q often benefit from a combination of therapies tailored to their strengths and needs.

Speech therapy, occupational therapy, physiotherapy, psychology, and educational supports can all play an important role, helping with communication, emotional wellbeing, motor skills, and learning.

✨ Therapy is not about fixing a child. It’s about giving them tools to access their world with confidence.

Small steps make a big difference.
This week, we’re focusing on practical supports that help children, teens, and adults with 22q feel safe, confident, and capable.

Tools like visual schedules, predictable routines, sensory supports, and breaking tasks into smaller steps can transform everyday challenges into opportunities for success.

✨ Support doesn’t have to be complicated — it just needs to be consistent and compassionate.
