Neurodivergent Parenting Community

Designed for parents raising neurodivergent children who want to feel empowered on their parenting journey and set their child up for success.

You're dedicated to providing the best support and care for your child, but navigating the complexities of neurodiversity can feel overwhelming at times. 

You want your child to thrive and be understood, confident, and happy, but it's easy to feel lost in the sea of information and advice online.

  • Are you tirelessly navigating the intricate challenges of raising a neurodivergent child? 

  • You struggle to understand your child’s impulsive behaviors and are tired of receiving phone calls from the school but are at a loss on how to handle it.

  • You want your child to stop chewing their shirts, eating their hair or other sensory behaviors. 

  • You want your child to make more friends and are worried about them being bullied. 

  • You yearn to forge a deeper bond with your child and gain a deeper understanding of their unique needs and how to best support them.

    You Struggle with:

    • Making sense of impulsive behaviors.

    • Managing transitions without meltdowns.

    • Navigating educational challenges.

    • Handling sensory sensitivities.

    • Supporting social interactions without stress.

Here’s what you need to know about raising neurodivergent children: 

You can help your child thrive, and cultivate a more profound, meaningful connection with them when you embrace empowering, neuroaffirming strategies to create a nurturing home environment

Embracing positive parenting strategies not only strengthens your bond with your children but also cultivates a nurturing environment where they can thrive emotionally, academically, and socially.

These strategies empower you to navigate challenges with patience and understanding, promoting harmony and mutual respect within your homes.

Imagine if…

  • Your home environment naturally supported your child's behaviors, providing a calm and structured space where they could thrive without constant struggles.

  • Everyday routines and activities were tailored to meet your child's specific needs, reducing stress and fostering positive interactions within your family.

  • Strategies for managing challenging behaviors were widely understood and applied, creating a harmonious atmosphere where your child feels understood and supported at all times.

I understand...

Hi, I’m Samantha. I empower parents of neurodivergent children to feel confident, supported, and informed as they navigate the unique journey of raising their children. As a board-certified music therapist and Positive Discipline Parenting Consultant, I provide compassionate guidance and evidence-based strategies to foster understanding, celebrate neurodiversity, and help families thrive.

I understand the challenges of parenting neurodivergent children firsthand. To be honest, my journey raising three children diagnosed with autism, ADHD, and other things hasn’t been easy. Beyond managing daily tasks, these challenges were layered with fears of failure, perfectionism, judgment, and grappling with imposter syndrome. It's incredibly draining, never knowing if you're making the right decisions.

Questions like:

Are my kids receiving enough therapy, or perhaps too much?

Should I homeschool or keep them in traditional schooling?

Why don't they want to invite friends over?

Have I damaged my relationship with them during moments of overstimulation? 

It's disheartening when traditional parenting methods don't seem to work, but what else is there? I deeply understand the worries about your children when they don't look like their peers, and you notice people judging. It wasn’t until I found a community that I felt more empowered in my parenting and confident in my choices. It doesn’t mean that I feel confident all the time, but I know there’s always someone in my corner. Now, I realize the critical importance of having a supportive community where we can share ideas, vent, and learn from each other. I believe that together, as parents, we possess the collective wisdom needed to effectively support our children.
