Top Insights & Strategies to Help Struggling Learners In + Out of the Classroom

Get a multi-use license for educators, clinicians, therapists, and non-profit organizations to train your staff and the families you serve on addressing behavior challenges while also honoring neurodivergence.

For teachers or professionals that serve neurodivergent kids…

Imagine this…

You’re no longer stuck guessing what your struggling student needs — or overwhelmed by conflicting advice. You finally understand how their brain works and why traditional approaches haven’t worked.

Your student is using tools that actually help them learn, communicate, and keep up. Parents and educators are working as a team to help your student succeed.

You’re not just reacting, you’re equipped. With evidence-based strategies and expert insights, you know how to support learning differences like ADHD, autism, and dyslexia in ways that build confidence, not shame.

The struggle doesn’t feel so heavy now. You’re seeing progress, possibility — and a student who’s finally starting to shine.

Help struggling learners

finally achieve success.

You'll learn the evidence-based knowledge, tools, and strategies that help struggling learners succeed and shine from leading experts in learning disabilities, ADHD, autism, mental health, and child development.

What You'll Learn

Join us on a journey of discovery where you'll grow to understand the hurdles that block some kids' learning and school success and how to overcome them. My goal is to empower you by providing the evidence-based information, support, strategies, and community you need to help struggling learners thrive.

Specific Learning Disabilities & Academics

Learn how to spot a kid who may be struggling with specific learning disabilities — like dyslexia, dysgraphia, and dyscaculia — and how to help those who are struggling with reading, writing, and math, as well as ADHD, autism, and/or executive functioning.

The Impact of Social Emotional Wellbeing on Learning & Behavior

If kids are flooded with emotions, struggling with peers, or just not feeling safe at school, their thinking brains are offline and they aren't available to learn. You'll learn how to ensure that kids feel safe at school and at home so their thinking brains are online and they're available to learn.

Creating Opportunities for ND Kids to Achieve Success

When a child or teen learns differently than the educational system teaches, they have little if any opportunity to succeed. That negatively impacts their self-esteem, confidence, and sense of competence (and, eventually, their mental health). Learn how to create opportunities for neurodivergent kids to succeed.

At the end you'll know...

How to read the signals and support the needs of students who are acting out, freaking out, or zoning out.

The essential role of connection, regulation, emotional wellbeing for physiological availability to learn.

Interventions and accommodations that can provide equal opportunity for learning for struggling students.

How to navigate school meetings, IEPs, and 504 Plans for successful outcomes for the student.

How to foster the parent-child, teacher-student, and teacher-parent relationships to benefit everyone.

Join thousands of parents and educators improving life for their neurodivergent kids — as well as for themselves and their families.

What You Get

With the Professional Access Multi-Use License you get:

  • Unlimited access to all Behavior SOS 2025 sessions to share within your school, non-profit, or practice (for organizations with 1-3 locations — if you have more offices or locations, email me.)
  • Downloadable video and audio versions of all expert sessions
  • The Action Workbook to use with the parents and educators that you serve 

* This license prohibits the resale of any and all materials contained therein. 

How the Pro License Works and Answers to Other Questions

You will receive one login to the hub that can be shared, or you can download the videos for sharing within your organization. We recommend hosting downloaded files in a shared internal space — like Google Drive or Dropbox — and sharing access to that folder. You will also have instructions on loading the sessions as a podcast.

You are not permitted to broadcast sessions to the public or resale any of the content. HOWEVER, you can host meetings where the sessions are watched together, even with the families you serve, not just your staff.

This license affords you permanent, on-demand access. 

The system will need to track the watch history of anyone wanting to get a certificate of completion to apply for continuing ed credits. If you have anyone on staff who wants to take advantage of this option, you'll need to email us to set up a separate login for them so their completion of videos can be tracked. We can provide 5 separate tracking accounts and certificates at this price. Any additional will be $50 each. 

Email me at [email protected] and I'll be glad to answer any and all questions you have. 

Hello!

I'm Penny.

I’m a parenting coach and host of the Beautifully Complex podcast. But more than anything, I’m a mom who’s walked this road.

When my son was diagnosed with ADHD and autism, I thought I could “fix” the hard stuff with enough effort. I read every book, tried every strategy, and still found myself bracing for the next meltdown.

It wasn’t until I understood his behavior through the lens of the nervous system — and started parenting from connection instead of control — that everything shifted.

Now, I help parents of complex kids move from constant reactivity to steady, confident leadership. Through the Regulated Kids Project, the Survival to Success Accelerator, and summits like Behavior SOS, I’ve guided thousands of parents and educators toward more understanding, less conflict, and stronger relationships.

I created the Behavior SOS Summit to bring you the guidance I wish I had years ago — practical, compassionate strategies from experts who get it, so you can feel supported, equipped, and never alone in this journey.

This isn’t just information.

it's a turning point.

You’re not broken. Your child isn’t either.

You just need the right tools, and the support to use them.

These workshops will help you see behavior differently, respond with confidence, and create a new path forward for the families you serve.

Applications now Open!

What if your child’s hardest moments weren’t something to fix, but something you could finally interpret?

The SIGNAL Parenting™ Program is an 8-week, guided experience for parents ready to stop reacting to behavior and start understanding what’s underneath it. You’ll learn to decode your child’s nervous system, respond with connection instead of control, and foster more regulation, confidence, and growth.

🗓 Apply by November 9th
🚀 Program starts December 2nd

Limited small-group spots available for families ready to follow the signal, and change their story.

Go from reacting in the moment to creating lasting change.
