Neurovetted holds every provider to a public standard. The Advisory Council is how we hold ourselves to one. It is a group of independent experts who give us straight, non-binding guidance: no governance authority, no financial stake in our decisions, just informed perspective from people who know this space.
The council exists for three reasons.
Wider perspective
Council members bring lived experience and specialized expertise from across the neurodivergent community and the online service industry, so our decisions reflect more than one viewpoint.
Sharper standards
Unlike a board of directors, the council carries no fiduciary duties. Its whole job is recommendations and thought leadership: pressure-testing the ethics code, the rubric, and how we vet.
Better decisions
A well-structured council helps us spot opportunities early, name problems honestly, and plan for the long term, so the directory stays worthy of the trust people put in it.

Andrew Belanger
I am an accessibility leader with 18+ years of making media accessible and/or usable for all audiences. I ran Humber Polytechnic's accessible media operations, including captioning, described video, and policy-aligned quality control. As an Accessible Media Technologist, I bring a deep understanding of how access actually happens on the ground. Accessibility is not just a policy statement, it is thousands of small technical decisions.
I joined Neurovetted so I can contribute to the conversation about accessibility and how neurodivergence affects someone’s online experience. I am excited to help Neurovetted become much more technologically accessible.
Devin Brinkley
I joined Neurovetted because I know how frustrating and exhausting it can be to search for providers who truly understand you and your needs. As a disabled and neurodivergent person, the mission felt personal to me. I love that Neurovetted is working to make it easier for neurodivergent people to find affirming providers and resources without having to do all of the work on their own, and I wanted to be part of something that could make that process a little easier for others.
I chose to serve on the Advisory Council because I wanted to contribute more than just my support. My background is in communications, community building, and helping organizations connect with the people they serve, so I felt I could bring both my professional experience and my lived experience to the table. I also really value helping shape a resource that is being built with neurodivergent people in mind from the beginning, rather than treating accessibility and inclusion as an afterthought.
Dorothy Fee
As a brand strategist with a background in messaging, I help complex brands make strategic growth decisions across their business, so they can operate more effectively and profitably while still being human and having fun. I started my business in 2019, after a complex chronic illness left me unemployed... and obsessed with leveraging words and empathy for impact.
Neurovetted provided me with unbiased feedback, and recognition of the choices I'd been quietly making for years. Choices that simply felt like the right thing to do, and choices that created the accommodations I needed myself, as a neurospicy spoonie. Through the Advisory Council, I'm honored to help normalize and protect inclusion, accessibility, and dignity in the online business space.
Catrina Mitchum
I joined Neurovetted because being accessible is critically important to me and my business. I don't know everything there is to know, and being proactive instead of reactive helps me make sure I'm as accessible as possible.
I chose to be on the Advisory Council because I think accessibility for neurodiversity is often overlooked.
Rheanna Nutter
Rheanna Nutter has spent over a decade inside other people's businesses, first as a fractional COO and business manager, now as the founder of The Chronic CEO, where she builds business strategies and AI systems for chronically ill, disabled, and neurodivergent solopreneurs. Her work runs on the same constraints her clients have: severe ADHD and chronic illness, with a capacity that shifts day to day.
She joined Neurovetted because she has watched neurodivergent business owners buy into programs sold by people who overstated and underdelivered on their understanding of the strategy modifications a neurodivergent business owner needs. The Advisory Council matters to her because the people relying on this directory have the least room to absorb a bad hire.
Erin Perkins
I joined Neurovetted because I love the intention behind it. Every single person in the directory has to go through a screening, and if they don't pass, they have an opportunity to fix it. It makes me feel confident that every single business on there is aligned with my values, and we want to make the world a better place.
Choosing to serve on the Advisory Council was a decision I didn't take lightly. Seeing the other people involved made me feel like this was something we were all in together, and we can truly grow this platform into an example to be set. And I want to be part of that change.
Ashlee Sang
I’m a strategic advisor who brings fresh perspective so that mission-driven leaders can make, then communicate, values-aligned decisions.
I joined Neurovetted because I love the idea of being connected to other business owners who care deeply about the work we do and the way we do it. Anything that makes it easier to support each other and feel confident in who we're hiring, referring, or partnering with feels like a win in my book.
I wanted to serve on the Advisory Council because being in conversation about ethical business with a roomful of conscious and caring entrepreneurs is my idea of a good time. I like that as a member of the council, I'll be able to contribute to the vision and execution of the group, while also broadening my own perspective as a practitioner who always has something to learn.
