+  ```bash

+  ### Import and extend the generated client
+
+  Import the Fern-generated base clients from `base_client.py` and extend them to create your custom clients. Then, add your custom methods.

+## Adding custom methods to models
+
+You can extend the Pydantic models that Fern generates for your API's types. This is useful when you want to add convenience methods, computed properties, or domain-specific logic directly to the objects your SDK returns.
+
+<Steps>
+  ### Create a custom model that extends the generated type
+
+  Fern generates Pydantic models in the `types/` directory. To add methods, create a new file that imports and extends the generated model.
 
+  For example, if your API defines a `Plant` type, Fern generates a `Plant` model. You can extend it:
 
-      ### Update `.fernignore`
+  ```python title="src/<package>/custom_plant.py"
+  from .types.plant import Plant as BasePlant
 
-      Add the `client.py` to `.fernignore`.
+  class Plant(BasePlant):
+      def get_full_description(self) -> str:
+          return f"{self.name} ({self.species})"
+  ```
 
-        ```diff title=".fernignore"
-        + src/<package>/client.py
-        ```
+  ### Update `.fernignore`
 
-        <Note>
-      See an example [.fernignore](https://github.com/elevenlabs/elevenlabs-python/blob/main/.fernignore) from ElevenLabs.
-    </Note>
+  Add your custom model file to `.fernignore` so Fern doesn't overwrite it.
 
+  ```diff title=".fernignore"
+  + src/<package>/custom_plant.py
+  ```
 
-      ### Consume the method
+  ### Export your custom model
 
-      <Markdown src="/products/sdks/snippets/consume-method.mdx"/>
+  To make your custom model available as part of the SDK's public API, use the [`additional_init_exports`](/sdks/generators/python/configuration#additional_init_exports) option in `generators.yml`:
 
-      ```python
-      client.my_helper()
-      ```
-    </Steps>
+  ```yaml {4-7} title="generators.yml"
+  - name: fernapi/fern-python-sdk
+    version: "..."
+    config:
+      additional_init_exports:
+        - from: custom_plant
+          imports:
+            - Plant
+  ```
+
+  ### Consume the custom model
+
+  Users can import and use your extended model with its custom methods.
+
+  ```python
+  from package import Plant
+
+  plant = Plant(name="Monstera", species="Monstera deliciosa")
+  print(plant.get_full_description())  # "Monstera (Monstera deliciosa)"
+  ```
+</Steps>
 
+<Note>
+  This approach works for adding methods to any Fern-generated Pydantic model, including request and response types. Since your custom class inherits from the generated model, it retains all original fields and serialization behavior.
