APPLE Values: A for Assent

Honoring the Voice of Every Individual

At APPLE Consulting, we believe in the power of assent—ensuring that individuals have a say in their own journey. Assent means respecting communication in all forms, whether spoken, gestured, or expressed through assistive technology. By honoring each child’s voice, we empower them to take an active role in their growth and development. 🌱💬

This month we will be highlighting our company's 5 values (the APPLE acronym):
Assent
Positivity
Partnerships
Learning
Empowerment

Today we are talking about our first value ASSENT.
At APPLE Consulting, we believe in the importance of informed consent, especially when it comes to working with children. However, we also understand that children may not have the same level of understanding as adults when it comes to giving consent. That's why we emphasize the concept of "assent" when working with minors.
Assent refers to a child's agreement to participate in a decision or activity, based on their level of understanding and maturity. It's important to note that assent is not the same as consent, which is given by an adult who has the legal authority to do so. Instead, assent is a way for children to express their own preferences and opinions, and have those taken into account when making decisions that affect them.
Assent is a critical component of our approach to working with neurodiverse children. It involves actively seeking out and respecting the child's perspective and preferences, and involving them in the decision-making process whenever possible. This helps to build trust and rapport with the child, and ensures that they feel valued and respected throughout their journey with us.
