Helpful Resources

Every family’s path with a neurodivergent learner looks a little different, but you don't have to figure it all out from scratch. Below, you’ll find answers to common questions, along with recommended books and websites designed to offer practical guidance and reassurance.

Looking for Individualized Guidance?

While general resources are a wonderful starting point, true progress often comes from an approach tailored specifically to your family and learner.

If you feel stuck, need custom strategies, or simply want an experienced partner to help navigate your unique journey, I'm here to help.

What I Wish I Knew at the Start of our Journey

  • It is ok to not be ok
  • There is an overabundance of information – Overwhelmingly so
  • Surround yourself with others who will support you unconditionally
  • Relationships are essential – Opinions are everywhere and perception is reality 
  • You know your child best – trust your gut
  • When someone tells you No, keep going until someone tells you Yes
  • Data matters but doesn’t always change the outcome nor the deciding factor on goals and objectives
  • Interventions are not a one size fits all 
  • You can call an interim IEP meeting at any time for any reason
  • Document everything – Don’t expect what you said in a call or meeting to be written in the notes verbatim or at all 
  • All questions are good questions, just ask

Understanding This Unique Landscape

The process can be confusing, exhausting and draining, but don't give up! Getting to the root cause of what is going on with your learner is key to creating the journey map that guides you forward. All Journeys are uniquely similar yet complexly different. No two are alike! For example I have two boys on very different journeys. Neither child "showed up" as typically developing, with easily identifiable behaviors NOR as a "textbook diagnosis".

Here I will share with you lessons learned navigating the neurodiverse learners' journey offering you seeds of knowledge, helpful resources, and thought leadership. Together we will grow and understand the unique challenges and success yet to come on this journey!
