This week of hands-on workshops will help you get organized, reduce overwhelm, and build personalized systems for a smoother, more supported school year for your neurodivergent kid (and your family). I'm not going to just tell you what to do… we're going to do the preparations TOGETHER.
It's totally possible!
Back-to-School Prep Week is your step-by-step plan to support your complex kid emotionally, practically, and logistically — before the school year even begins.
Think of it as five days of co-working, coaching, and done-with-you systems building. No fluff. No lectures. Just get-it-done-together support for parents like you.
Ready for less stress and more success?
But if you’re parenting a neurodivergent child, you know the drill:
As we prepare for our son to enter public school, this was exactly what we needed to help us feel ready for such a big transition. I feel so much more at ease, and I know that feeling will help our son feel more at ease also! Each session was so practical, and I appreciated that we could work along with you and come out of the sessions with ready-to-go materials. I am certain that the resources you shared will serve us for many years to come.
This week of learning with hands-on activities was beyond helpful! Each workshop was specific with concrete and actionable information that I was able to use during/after the workshop. With Back-to-School Prep, the workshops are specific and I learned to take action (not just absorb information) and the action is built right into the workshop! After each workshop, not only did I have useful and practical information, but I learned concrete steps to put that information into action! This week of workshops and activities was truly an invaluable way to get this school year off to a fabulous start!
I always found school meetings excruciating, so the scripts and step-by-step guides you provide have been such a confidence booster for me! I am so thankful that I can watch the workshops anytime, at my own pace, and can repeat them as needed.
A 5-day series of co-planning sessions designed specifically for parents of neurodivergent kids, each session is a hands-on, done-with-you experience where we tackle the most common stress points of the school year — organization, communication, routines, advocacy, and emotional regulation — together, in real time.
Each day features 1–2 live sessions (12PM + 3PM ET), a pre-recorded session, replays, and simple downloads. All sessions are parent-only (kids won't participate in the sessions with you). Everything is recorded and yours to keep.
Hover over the titles below to get the workshop descriptions.
Imagine how much better that's going to feel!
Each session is recorded so you can show up when it works for you. Live or on replay, you will get things done as you watch.
You'll be guided through every task with simple, doable instructions + templates, customizing it for your child along the way.
You’ll leave each session with something tangible — ready to use with your child or share with their school.
The transition from summer into a new school year can be extra tough for both neurodivergent kids, and their parents. Prep Week is a lifeline for transformation. It's time to change your back-to-school experience!
The majority of the 2025 Back-to-School Prep Week is new this year. If you purchased the 2024 Prep Week, look in your email for a discount code that removes the cost of the sessions you already have.
Meeting your child’s emotional needs means they feel safe, seen, and supported through school challenges. This guide helps you know what to say, what to do, and how to create rhythms that build regulation and connection at home and at school.
Your school struggles coach
My son used to light up with excitement on the first day of school — skipping down the hall, smiling at everyone. But instead of being met with joy, his energy was often labeled as a problem.
On the very first day of kindergarten, they told him to stop skipping in the halls. By day two, I was called in for a meeting where his teacher said he was “wreaking havoc,” when all he was really doing was just being himself.
At the time, we didn’t know he had ADHD. I sent him to school unprepared because I didn’t know what we needed, which made everything harder.
Eventually, with a diagnosis and a lot of trial and error, I learned how to prepare myself, my kid, and his teachers, before school even started. And that changed everything.
That’s exactly what we’ll do together in the BACK-TO-SCHOOL PREP WORKSHOPS: create your plan, step by step, to make the transition into a new school year smoother for everyone.
I totally get it! Life is full, especially when you're parenting a complex kid. Every session is recorded and available for replay so you can participate when it works for you. Plus, each day’s task is designed to be completed in about an hour or less—no fluff, no overwhelm, just forward momentum.
Absolutely! This is personalized prep. Even if you’ve got some things working, we’ll help you tighten the loose ends, fill in the gaps, and bring fresh insight to areas you might not have considered. You’ll walk away with more clarity, better tools, and more confidence heading into the school year.
Yes! I designed these sessions to be flexible and adaptable, whether your child is starting kindergarten, navigating middle school, or learning at home. The tools and strategies are developmentally appropriate and centered on your child’s needs, not their grade level.
The majority of Prep Week will be helpful to those who homeschool. The exception is the sessions on school communication and advocacy.
These sessions are designed for you — the parent or caregiver. That way, you can think, plan, and reflect without interruptions. Some activities that you'll collaborate with your child on will come with family-friendly tools to use with your child after the session.
This isn’t another watch-and-implement-on-your-own experience. It’s hands-on, results-first, and built for real life. You’ll be guided through each step live, with expert support, clear templates, and a finish-line each day. You won’t just learn what to do — you’ll get it done with us.
Nope. Everything you need is included. I’ll provide all the digital templates, planning tools, and resources. Just bring your favorite pen, your brain (even if it’s tired), and a commitment to show up for yourself and your child.
I believe deeply in the value of this experience. If after attending the first session you don’t feel like it’s worth it, let me know and I'll refund your registration—no questions asked.
