As more opportunities and choices become available to move from remote, to hybrid, to in-person activities, parents are faced with new sets of decisions and transitions to manage.
For families where neurodiversity, learning differences, and special needs are central factors, change and uncertainty can be especially stressful and difficult, if not disruptive.
For some, even the prospect of planning what will be required to address what's next can be daunting and anxiety provoking.
We want to help. So we created this program for you.
For a candid discussion where you will learn practical steps that you can put in place to help your children, your family, and YOU as parents to stay on track as you create your family plan, while building resilience and flexibility.
