Back-to-school season can bring excitement, but it can also bring big transitions, shifting routines and a whole lot of feelings.

I’m excited to be partnering again with Centre for Diverse Learners to present:

✨ 𝗦𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗦𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗨𝗽 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗦𝘂𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀: 𝗣𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗮 𝗦𝗺𝗼𝗼𝘁𝗵 𝗦𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗹 𝗬𝗲𝗮𝗿

Designed for parents and caregivers, this 𝗙𝗥𝗘𝗘 𝘄𝗲𝗯𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗿 will share practical, regulation-informed strategies to help children and youth navigate the transition back to school with greater confidence and support.

We’ll talk about:
🎒 Preparing for the transition before school starts
🧠 Supporting regulation and executive functioning
🏡 Creating routines and supports at home
🤝 Partnering and communicating with the school team
💬 Supporting your child through those first few weeks

The goal isn’t a perfect start to the school year. It’s helping your child feel understood, supported and better equipped for what comes next.

Different doesn’t need fixing.

It needs understanding, support, and space to thrive 💜

We’ve been nominated 💜

And this one feels meaningful.

Because this work was never just about coaching.

It’s about changing how we understand behaviour.
How we support regulation.
How we show up for people in ways that actually work.

To see that recognized tells me something important:
This conversation matters.

If you’ve found value in anything I’ve shared, I would truly appreciate your support.

𝗘𝗺𝗽𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗡𝗲𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗱𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗲 𝗜𝗻𝗱𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗱𝘂𝗮𝗹𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲

I’m leading this session on Wednesday at 𝘚𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘛𝘰𝘨𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳: 𝘈 𝘕𝘦𝘶𝘳𝘰𝘥𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘚𝘺𝘮𝘱𝘰𝘴𝘪𝘶𝘮

Here’s the problem:
Most workplaces say they support neurodivergent employees…
but still expect people to perform in systems that don’t support how they function.

That gap is where burnout, miscommunication, and turnover live.

In this session, we’re getting into:
• what’s actually not working in workplace systems
• how leadership responses impact regulation (and performance)
• the small shifts that make inclusion real, not just stated

No theory-heavy conversation.
Just practical, applicable changes leaders can start making immediately.

Join us virtually on March 25.
Comment SYMPOSIUM and I’ll send the link.

If your child struggles with regulation, start with predictability.

When kids know what’s coming next, their nervous system can settle.

Predictability and consistency reduce the mental load of constantly trying to figure things out.

The brain isn’t stuck in uncertainty, which means there is more capacity for cooperation, learning, and calm.

This is why simple supports matter so much:
• visual schedules
• consistent routines
• timers and transition warnings
• adults responding in predictable ways

Structure isn’t about being rigid.
It helps children feel safe enough to regulate.
