The Road Map: Are you feeling overwhelmed by your child's needs or recent diagnosis and don't know where to begin? As a child psychologist and parent who is also walking this path, I understand how overwhelming it can feel and want to share with you all that I have learned. This self-study online course is designed for parents ready to shift their mindset and better understand the neurodiversity of the child they are raising. Are you ready to feel more capable on this journey?
The Story Shop: Reading stories with our children often helps them understand new ideas and feel less alone. All stories in The Story Shop are digital downloads for you and your child to read together. These stories aim to help children understand their feelings, who in their world can help them, and what strategies might help them feel better.
