April is Autism & Neurodiversity Acceptance Month. We are at the start of a long-awaited course correction in the Autism and Neurodiversity world. It's time to check ourselves and promise to do better.

Empowered Parents, we have 12 Commitments to the neurodiverse community, and over April, we will highlight them.

This is us adjusting our work, creating neuro-affirming therapeutic spaces, and showing our allyship. We hope parents and professionals can do the same.

This is where we are for autistic children in mainstream schooling - many report low levels of peer social support, high levels of bullying, rejection by their peers, participate less in class, feel more disconnected from their school community and are more likely to be excluded from school than their non-autistic classmates.

It is time for us to do better for children and families. Each of these points has long-lasting impacts on mental health and lifelong outcomes. Inclusion is complex, but we can figure it out with the promise to do better.

Want to join the shift and become a genuinely neuro-affirming leader in your daycare, school, or workspace? Of course, you do!

You can attend all four classes or any combination you like. PL certificates are available for those who attend live. Contact us about our excellent group rate.

ONLY 5 SEATS LEFT!!

Are You Struggling With Your Child's Sleep?
Are Their Worries About Tomorrow Keeping Them Awake?
Are Your Worries About Their Struggles Keeping You Awake?
Nothing will add chaos to your home, like chronic lack of sleep and bedtime issues. When your child is not sleeping, it can turn a house upside down! When our kids are not sleeping - it means we are not sleeping! Making the emotional regulation of the whole house chaotic!
Sleep is the great equalizer, and we all need more of it - kids and parents.
Sleep & Emotional Regulation go hand in hand. You know what I'm talking about; we have all been there. When our kids have a restless night, they don't cope well with the stressors that the following day tosses at them. To make it even more frustrating, the stress of the next day can be the thing that keeps our kids awake.

We Go Live Tomorrow Night! Do you have your seat yet?!
Parents of neurodiverse children require more than just run-of-the-mill self-care practices. They need supercharged, exceptional, and radical self-compassion. I tell parents to imagine they won the "self-care lottery," and they have to use the money to take better care of themselves or they will lose the prize. Everything about our lives is filled with exceptionalities, and this part of our lives needs to be, too.
I ask families to think how their lives would change if they took 10% of the love and energy they donated each day to their child and gave it back to themselves. Many say they can't, that it would be selfish, that there is no time.
In the neurodiverse family culture, parents are super focused on their children. They have to be. But they also need to care for themselves to avoid the downhill flow of anxiety into their already vulnerable children. When I remind them of how interconnected stress is within families, they begin to think a little more about a yoga class or going for that swim.
Join us - November 19th & 26th from 7:00 -8:30 PM (NL Time).
