A brief personal note... 

​Parenting is an incredible life path, yet isn’t for the faint of heart. You rise when things run smoothly and fall hard when they're not.

​

School is very often where needs emerge, coming into focus when academic, social, behavioral, or other issues appear or continue.

 

And when your child is neurodivergent, your "exceptional caregiving" demands and responsibilities become the focus and priority, responding to chronic and crisis issues that often emerge quickly.

 

​

For me, the decision to leave my career and job to focus on my child's needs was a decision many parents today continue to face and make.

The ability to adapt, respond, and be available to address my child's needs improved life immeasurably. Perfect? No. Better. Absolutely.

 

​

 

Immersion in the special education arena, supporting many hundreds of parents, and participating in countless IEP meetings, it became clear that parents don't know what they need to know. Bringing clarity and calm to the confusion and chaos became the focus and priority.

​

If you're a working parent, the need for family-supportive benefits --workplace flexibility, remote work options, flexible paid leave, manager support, and robust benefits along with spouse/partner/family members support can make all the difference. ​

​​

I've lived this complex reality and understand the challenges ad truly appreciate the importance of every step forward. This is where I enter the picture...focusing on helping you help your child to make steps forward. For when they do, you will too.
