For our parents

Services we provide neurodivergent individuals and their families. 

Education

We present neurodiversity awareness sessions to parent groups at schools, churches, community groups, and workplaces.  We provide an overview of autism, ADHD, dyslexia, and other learning differences.  These sessions last about an hour.

We follow up with informational sessions that target specific topics related to neurodiversity.  We explore a variety of topics more deeply during these presentations that last 1-2 hours (IEP/504, sibling and family support, and co-occuring conditions).    

We customize half-day to day-long parent education workshops.  We explore the neurodiversity experience from a developmental perspective examining the continuum from early childhood to young adulthood across the domains of school, work, and home life.   
 
We have in-person, weekend-length intensives that bring a powerful educative and supportive experience to our caregivers.  These include one-on-one coaching sessions, actionable step-by-step guidance, and valuable resources and materials.  These immersive workshops provide space to work on goal setting and mindset shifting around the topic of neurodiversity alongside a community of like-minded individuals.  These will launch as soon as it is feasible. 

For our youth, we offer skill building workshops that strengthen emotional and life skillsets.  We bring evidence-based practices into executive skills instruction for students across their developmental pathways.  These lessons can be done individually or with a group/class and run for one semester.   
   
All our educational programs are implemented using a strengths-based support model.  We approach neurodiversity assuming competence that focuses on strengths, interests, and talents.  

We post a bimonthly newsletter that brings current topics, tips, and research about what is happening in the neurodiverse community to our subscribers.  It is also a space for learning more about how we navigate our own experiences raising our unique children.  

Support

We support families through two pathways: an online membership community and one-on-one coaching.

Our private online membership community is invitation only and nominally priced to be inclusive to as many members as possible.  You will find community, support, mentoring and alternative viewpoints here, as well as opportunities to interact with us directly through weekly office hours sessions.  

Our one-on-one individualized coaching sessions are for both adults and children.  We mentor parents new to a diagnosis and help onboarding professionals who will work with their child.  We work with caregivers on a neurodivergent parenting toolbox that includes personalized strategies to navigate life with a differently wired child.  Families also receive resources tailored to their individual needs.  We help families manage the challenges and joys of parenting neurodiverse children by setting actionable goals that nurture what is best for their child.  Our coaching program comes with text and telephone support during the coaching period.  

Our coaching work with students helps highlight their strengths while mitigating their challenges.  For school-aged children, we work on emotional regulation, executive skills, and coping skills to help students handle stress.  With experience working in both public and progressive schools, we help parents find the right learning environment for their neurodivergent child.  We guide families that need to augment with additional supports outside of school.

We provide an educational planning service for adolescent students from high school into higher education.  We help families understand their students' strengths, interests, and needs as an integral part of a forward thinking transition plan.  We understand that there are many pathways to individual success and we encourage parents to explore alternatives to traditional higher education goals.  We work with families to recognize the best fit for their child's diagnosis, aspirations, and learning profile.  We work with families teaching them strategies to help support their teens through the transition to young adulthood. 

We coach neurodivergent families by helping them connect and build strong family relationships.  We bring a positive perspective to setting personal and family goals that foster acceptance, nurture understanding and cultivate joy for neurodivergent families. 

Advocacy

We advocate for our families by amplifying voices of neurodivergent individuals.  

We highlight websites and businesses that employ neurodivergent individuals and that serve the neurodivergent community.  

We write about research that is positively focused, strengths-based, and neurodiversity-affirming and we support organizations that conduct such research.     

We embrace acceptance and understanding of the neurodivergent experience and model this perspective for our clients introducing them to the language and mindset that will help their family bring change for this community. 

We explicitly teach families and their children how to advocate for themselves.  For our clients, this includes training programs that use modeling, role-play, and coaching to build confidence and help them proudly find the voice within themselves.
