Who is this workshop for?
One of the most common questions I receive from parents raising neurodivergent kids is this: How do I know if my child’s behavior is due to their disability or if they are doing it on purpose?
Because our neurodivergent children present with skill weaknesses that occur internally, like those related to emotional dysregulation and executive functioning, when they are asked to do something they don’t have the capacity for at the moment, the first sign of distress is often avoidance or an emotional meltdown.
But, there are still times when children need limits to learn how to stay safe and become independent. So, how can we tell the difference and how do we respond? If you want to know more on this topic, this workshop is for you.
In this workshop you will learn
What is happening in the brain and body when a child is in a stress response
Reframing our thinking to support during a stress response
Spotting intentional behaviors and how to teach them a better way
Getting ahead of behaviors by preventing stressful situations
Understanding our own triggers as parents so that we can show up for our kids in these moments

What qualifies me to teach this workshop?
As a child psychologist, former school psychologist, and parent, I’ve spent the last two decades working with neurodivergent children and teens alongside their families and teachers.
Our kids are complex. What works for one child may or may not work for another. Our families are complex. There is so much information out there, but you are ultimately the decision-makers of the next best step in your child’s journey. I want to help you to feel more capable and experience more joy on this parenting journey.
If you’re ready to learn how to reduce the stress in your home, help others understand your kid, and find more joy, you are in the right place.
Let’s do this together,
~Dr. Emily
