Do you ever ask yourself:

  • How you can study and/or work in a way that suits you?
  • Why you are exhausted at the end of the day?
  • Whether it is worth the effort to get an official diagnosis?
  • If you are neurodivergent or not?

Then Headway might be something for you.

The Headway cards visualize and help you explore your unique characteristics. Together we discuss them and see which characteristics are most commonly associated with which neurotype.

With this outcome we find the best way to give direction in the choices you make in life based on what you are good at. The cards are based on positive psychology (Maslow, Seligman and Csikszentmihalyi) and focus on your qualities and how best to exploit them. This helps to give direction and make choices based on what you are good at.

What others have said

I have seen three psychologists but now I have clarity.
When the psychologist asked the reason for needing help I couldn't find the words, after the first session with you I knew what I needed.
Marjan's card system not only finally reveals this illusive spectrum of neurodiversity with actual colours, but it maps out your personal spectrum in a simple and intuitive way.

The Headway cards

Headway is a set of cards that open up the discussion around neurodiversity by focussing on personal qualities and needs rather than limitations.

Based on the strength-based model (positive psychology) that encourages inclusivity, respectful collaboration in education, work and counseling. Everyone has the right to self-determination and as Lawrence K. Fung MD PhD said, "…enhanced self determination contributes to more positive school, employment and community inclusion outcomes…".

What is neurodiversity?

One or a combination of: ADHD, ADD, Autism, Giftedness, Dyslexia, Dyscalculia, Dyspraxia and High Sensitivity.

A frequently heard statement is: 'Everyone has something! Right?' and that is true!

The difference lies in the Spiky Profile: this is when someone possesses certain traits all the time or never, not every now and then.

In other words:

  • — the degree to which someone possesses certain characteristics
  • — the extent to which these characteristics come into conflict with society
  • — the degree of suffering.

But there is much more, because everyone is so unique. Your upbringing, culture, environment, trauma, and lived experiences all shape who you are and how you deal with your characteristics.

And this is the foundation of Headway.
