Workshops for Supporting Neurodivergent Kids

When adults feel confident and equipped, neurodivergent students thrive.

Schools are seeing more students with ADHD, Autism, anxiety, PDA, and trauma-based needs than ever, and educators are overwhelmed. Families want clarity. SpEd teams are stretched thin. And kids are stuck in the middle.

My workshops are designed to take the pressure off individual teachers by building the collective skills of the entire community: staff, specialists, and caregivers.

I bring 15+ years of classroom + coaching experience alongside real-world strategies from my work with neurodivergent teens every day.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Schools, districts, and parent communities who want practical, neurodiversity-affirming tools to support ADHD, autistic, PDA, and trauma-impacted students. Great for staff PD, grade-level teams, or family engagement events.

  • Yes. Every session is tailored to the age range, challenges, and goals of your community. I’ll adjust examples, strategies, and resources to fit your school.
