“I just wanted to reach out to thank you so much for putting together this summit and allowing me to participate as a parent free of charge. I have been finding the sessions so incredibly helpful and encouraging. It's eye opening and educational to understand the world of autism beyond my everyday experiences with my son, but to hear beyond from experts I wouldn't ordinarily hear from, helps me help my son. Thank you.”

The Experts

What You'll Learn

Join us on a journey of discovery where you'll shift your mindset about behavior and learn how to improve challenging behavior while honoring a child's unique wiring. Our goal is to empower you by providing the information, support, and community you need to help neurodivergent kids with ADHD, autism, learning disabilities and/or anxiety feel better and do better.

Here's what's inside:

How to Help Kids Feel Good so They Can Do Good

We all have to feel good in order to be able to do good — it's our biology. You'll learn what changes to make and steps to take in order to help kids regulate so they can feel better. Because when a child feels good, they are much less likely to have challenging behavior.

How to Harness Individuality & Uniqueness

Individuality and uniqueness allow each of us to contribute to the world. When those unique traits are viewed as negatives, we all lose out. And denying who our kids are escalates unwanted behavior and erodes self-worth. Learn how to harness a child's differences to improve challenging behavior.

How to Tackle Specific Behavior Challenges

When the behavior of neurodivergent kids is volatile and significant, it can be hard to figure out how to help. We're going to teach you how to address and transform a few of these behaviors, including aggression, lying, and lack of motivation, as well as behaviors related to screen-time.

At the end you’ll know:
