1. Parenting an Autistic Child: A Nervous System First Approach

Designed for Parents & Caregivers

Moving past compliance-based charts and behavior management, this masterclass reframes autism through a lens of physiological safety and deep connection. Parents will learn how to read their child's unique sensory profile, differentiate between sensory overload and behavioral choices, and implement gentle, somatic-based co-regulation tools that cultivate peace and understanding at home.

2. The Inclusive Ecosystem: Supporting the Neurodivergent Child in the Classroom

Designed for Educators, School Administrators, & Shadow Support

Drawing directly from my years supervising special education across diverse school systems, this workshop equips educators with modern, neurodivergent-affirming strategies. We look at environmental modifications, sensory accommodations, and relational teaching frameworks that support both educator and child to reduce classroom anxiety, support diverse learning styles, and allow neurodivergent children to academically and socially thrive without losing their spark.

3. The Unseen Profile: Navigating the Inner World of Neurodivergent Girls

Designed for Parents, Educators, & Clinicians

Autism and ADHD often look vastly different in girls, frequently hiding behind high levels of masking, perfectionism, and internalizing anxiety. This specialized workshop shines a light on the unique presentation of neurodivergent girls and teens. We explore the toll of social masking, somatic manifestations of stress, identity development, and how to provide the validating support they need to feel seen, safe, and authentically expressed.

4. The Bridge: Intersecting Behavior and Mental Health in Neurodivergent Children

Designed for Clinicians, Behavioral Therapists, & Advanced Parents

Behavior never happens in a vacuum; it is the visible expression of an invisible internal state. This advanced class bridges the gap between behavioral therapy and mental health clinical insights. Attendees will learn how to look beneath surface-level actions to assess emotional dysregulation, developmental trauma, and nervous system vulnerability, walking away with a holistic framework that treats the child's emotional well-being rather than just managing their behavior.

5. The Balanced Classroom: What Behavioral Therapy Can (and Cannot) Do for Your Students

Designed for Educators, School Administrators, & Behavioral Therapists

Behavioral therapy (ABA) is one of the most widely utilized tools in education, yet it is often misunderstood or misapplied. This workshop offers a rare, objective, and deeply insightful look at how to effectively integrate behavioral strategies into the classroom.

Drawing on my background as both a Special Education Supervisor and Behavior Analyst, I break down the exact parameters of behavioral therapy in an educational setting:

• What it CAN do: Create predictable environments, establish clear and comforting routines, reduce transitions-based anxiety, and provide data-driven structures that help neurodivergent students feel successful and organized.

• What it CANNOT do: Heal an overloaded nervous system, resolve underlying emotional trauma, or replace the deep need for human connection and co-regulation.

Educators will walk away with a sophisticated, hybrid framework, learning how to use the structure of behavioral therapy to create a functioning classroom ecosystem, while becoming aware of somatic and emotional regulation tools to support the child behind the behavior.

6. The Architecture of Safety: Attunement and Co-Regulation for Healing Children’s Nervous Systems

Designed for Parents, Educators, & Clinicians

We often ask dysregulated children to calm down, calm themselves, or "use their words," forgetting that self-regulation is a skill that must first be borrowed from a safe adult. This deeply nurturing, somatic-focused class explores the profound science and art of nervous system safety. Moving beyond theory, we dive into the physiological mechanics of how a child’s nervous system heals and thrives through connection rather than isolation.

Attendees will explore:

• The Power of Attunement: Learning how to read the subtle, non-verbal language of a child's nervous system before a meltdown even begins.

• The Mechanics of Co-Regulation: Discovering how to use your own calm, grounded presence, vocal tone, and body language as a biological anchor for an overwhelmed child.

• Somatic Safety Tools: Practical, body-based practices to help children transition out of survival mode (fight, flight, or freeze) and return to a state of emotional and physiological rest.

• Protecting Your Own Battery: How adults can maintain their own regulation while holding space for a child’s intense emotions, preventing secondary burnout.

7. Creative Regulation: Art Therapy as a Somatic Tool for Neurodivergent People.

Designed for Parents, Educators, & Clinicians

Traditional talk therapy requires verbal and cognitive energy that are often offline when a neurodivergent child is overwhelmed or in burnout. Drawing on my background as an Art Therapist and Mental Health Clinician, this masterclass introduces creative, tactile mediums as a non-verbal, somatic gateway to emotional regulation.

Attendees will discover:

• The Neurobiology of Art: How different materials (from fluid paints to clay) can either soothe a hyper-aroused child or stimulate a shut-down system.

• Process Over Product: Using the creative process;rather than the final result—as a safe playground for a child to organize their intense inner world.

• Sensory-Friendly Art: Designing creative invitations that accommodate tactile sensitivities while encouraging sensory integration.

• Bridging Art & Home: Practical, low-stress art interventions to help children decompress, transition smoothly, and safely navigate big emotions.

Every workshop is tailored to the specific needs and cultural dynamics of the audience, seamlessly weaving together clinical expertise and practical, real-world application.
