Weekly Recap: Back-To-School Anxiety
For Parents…
Back-to-School Anxiety Parent Workshop Replay is now available! (here’s a sneak peek)
I loved seeing everyone who came LIVE to yesterday’s parent workshop! The replay is now available for those who couldn’t make it at the links below.
I hope you leave feeling empowered to conquer the back to school transition for both you and your child.
Here’s what we covered:
Effectively communicating with administrators prior to the school year beginning with discussing the best teacher fit
Preparing your autistic or anxious Kindergartener, 6th grader, or 9th grader for a new schedule, new school building, and new people
Introducing your child’s strengths and needs for support to their new teacher in a way that sets everyone up for success
Preventing school refusal and how to respond if and when it happens
Knowing when your child is in a honeymoon phase or after-school burnout and what can be learned in these moments.

How to Talk To Your Child About Their Neurodivergence
In this workshop, I discuss:
Why it’s important for children to understand their unique brain wiring
When to teach your child about their neurodivergence
What to tell them about a diagnosis
How to empower them to embrace their strengths and advocate for their needs so they can feel less frustration and more confident
How to talk to teenagers who may already have a negative idea of disability
In case you missed it…
ADVICE THREADS are ON ME ALL SUMMER
This summer, I am opening advice threads to EVERYONE! Advice threads (normally only for paid subscribers) are were we discuss all the things about nurturing neurodivergent kids and teens.
Come join in the discussion where we ask questions, share ideas, and help each other out.
For Schools…
In-person professional development focused on neurodiversity, mental health, and reframing behavior!
