I'll guide you from feeling helpless and hopeless to watching your neurodivergent child shine. Let's extinguish the crises and build an authentic life of success and joy for your child (and your family).
Take my free quiz to cut through the overwhelm and get focused on the information and resources that will help you and your child where you are RIGHT NOW.
Yeah, it's possible!
Parenting a neurodivergent child isn’t about trying harder — it’s about understanding neuro-differences. Once you learn how your child’s brain processes the world, you can shift from frustration to connection, from confusion to clarity. With the right tools and mindset, you can create an environment where your child feels seen, supported, and capable of success.
There are no rules.
Alright. You got me. Yes, there are, technically, some rules. But if you're not hurting your kid, then you're allowed to parent them differently than society, your family members, and nosy neighbors dictate. In fact, I encourage it!
A roadmap to a thriving kid and family
Trying to change everything at once when parenting a child or teen with ADHD, autism, and/or anxiety leads to overwhelm, frustration, and burnout — for both of you. When you spread your energy too thin, nothing sticks, and progress feels impossible. That’s why scaling is key. Small, meaningful wins build confidence, momentum, and lasting change. Success comes from strategic shifts, step by step, so each approach has time to take root. That’s why I created the S.C.A.L.E. Method — a structured, manageable path forward. Instead of feeling stuck, you’ll take clear, actionable steps that build on each other, creating a snowball effect of progress and success.
This is the process I would have jumped fully into the very day my neurodivergent kid was diagnosed if I had known then what I know now. I was on my own back then… but you're not alone now. I'm here to save you years of self-doubt and overwhelm and get you on the most effective path right away.
Let's build your kid's neuro-affirming ecosystem together!

I felt like I was drowning as a mother to my 8-year-old daughter with ADHD. Our entire household was miserable. I took Penny’s course and read some of her books and put some new knowledge and skills into practice. My household has had a complete transformation. No more yelling and screaming. No more crazy punishments that didn’t work. My daughter and I have an excellent relationship now.
The Survival to Success Accelerator has really helped me understand what is going on for my daughter. I no longer see my daughter as an aggressor, but a person that needs support. The course has helped us to go from several meltdowns every day to the occasional meltdown every few months, but even those are not as intense. I feel so much more in tune with my daughter's needs.
My child's challenges related to ADHD and ASD have the power to completely derail our family's daily dynamics, but as I've learned more about these challenges in the Survival to Success Accelerator and have taken the time to get really curious about what my child needs to feel safe and regulated, two pretty amazing things happened: I stopped putting my child in situations he "should" be able to navigate (in spite of evidence that he can't, yet), and safety and trust have grown from fewer disastrous "'should' but can't" situations. It's given my son the space to regulate, learn, and experience a growing snowball of small successes built on small successes.
I just wanted to say a big thank you for your Survival to Success Accelerator programme. We still have some difficult days, but our home is a much nicer place to be for us all. I really enjoyed the course — I keep rewatching bits and building on our progress. It helped me understand my lovely daughters and be a calmer,more connected parent. We are so much in a better space so a huge thank you from our whole family!
Thanks so much for this wonderful Program. It's very insightful, especially validating my kid's feelings and asking how I can help them.
When my son was diagnosed with ADHD, I felt confused, lost, angry, and sad. Then the guilt began and the questions were merciless. I would still be lost and confused without the extensive knowledge and supportI’ve received from your course. I kid you not, my husband and I would be lost without you.
Feel like chaos is running your life? Like nothing you do helps? I've been in these trenches over 15 years myself, so I get it. Not only do I have the strategies to empower you to improve your life and your child’s, but I’m living proof that they work, because I’ve lived it.
I can guide you over the hurdles and around the obstacles to a more loving, fun, and joyful family life. A parenthood that’s rewarding. A child that is succeeding.
I teach a neurodiversity-affirming parenting approach proven to improve behavior and parental confidence for families raising kids with ADHD and/or autism. Sometimes it simply takes a helping hand to guide you in the right direction.

Neuro-affirmative Parent & Educator Training
Our workshops provide practical and actionable strategies on a specific topic in one hour or less.
Unlocking Potential: Assistive Tech Tools for Enhanced Educational Access
Could assistive technology help your child or student overcome some of their roadblocks to learning and succeeding in school? In this workshop, you’ll discover how to effectively leverage assistive technology tools in three areas: reading, writing, and organizing. Join us to peek over our shoulders as we walk through exactly how to set up and implement three powerful assistive technology tools. In the end, you’ll feel confident to advocate for technology tools to assist your struggling learner and ensure the educational access they deserve.
The Hierarchy of Needs & Availability to Learn
Not every child is physiologically available to learn at all times. Often, neurodivergent kids and teens have many factors that can cause them to be dysregulated and cause their thinking brains to go offline. In this masterclass, Penny applies Maslow's Hierarchy of Human Needs as a checklist to decode what is impeding a student from learning or meeting expectations when it comes to school and schoolwork. In the end, you'll have a framework to troubleshoot a student's roadblocks to school success and eliminate them.
How to Meet Neurodivergent Kids Where They Are
Learn how to effectively support neurodivergent kids and teens by meeting them where they are and providing what they need in the moment. You'll shift from a behavior-based lens to a brain-based lens to better understand and address behavior. You'll learn to identify a child's developmental age, profile, strengths, and challenges to create a safe and supportive environment, as well as how to foster independence, problem-solving skills, and confidence. All of this helps you determine where they are and how to meet them there to provide the best opportunities for success.
Your Role in Your Child's Behavior
It's important to be aware of our own reactions and responses, as they greatly impact our child's behavior. In this webinar, we explore how you're either escalating or de-escalating your child's/student's behavior.
Learn practical co-regulation techniques — from staying calm and using rhythm, to engaging in physical co-regulation, how to adjust your responses based on the child's needs, the art of being a good listener, and strategies to fuel your child's energy and resources through unconditional love, play, celebrating successes, and fostering connections.
How to Stay Calm When Your Child or Student Isn't
Every human is biologically wired to respond in kind to those around us. That's why reactivity is your instinct and why it's so hard to stay calm when your kid is acting out, freaking out, or zoning out. Yet, we know staying calm always creates better outcomes. Penny shares every one of the strategies she's used successfully to stay calm when her child isn't. In the end, you'll have the insights, strategies, and grounding you need to remain calm more often than not. And, guess what? It feels better for you too.
