Happy to be moral support at my client’s IEP meetings. I may not speak a word but a lot will be said.

I’ve spent the last 5 years creating spaces for professionals to learn, grow, and become better at what they do.

But this time, I wanted to create something different- the thing I needed for myself.

A space curated for the professional who is also navigating the uncertainty of being someone’s child, someone’s parent, and someone’s caregiver.

Being the “expert” doesn’t mean you always have the answers when it comes to your own family and what we need most isn’t another resource or another strategy.

You need to know you’re not the only one navigating both sides of the table.

That’s what this gathering is about. Community, validation, and the reminder that you don’t have to figure it all out alone.

The Duality of Being the Expert and the Caregiver: Navigating Both Sides of the Table goes LIVE in two days.

November 13 & 14 ~ Virtual ~ LIVE access is FREE

Come find your people. 🤎

November caseload math: progress reports + holiday schedules + kids who can feel the break coming. And maybe a full plate at home too🫠

So here’s what I do this month. I use one book and let it carry me for weeks.

Thank You, Omu! is that book. Omu cooks a pot of thick red stew, and although she is eagerly anticipating her meal- she shares it with her whole neighborhood until there’s nothing left. But that's not where it ends. In the end her kindness is returned when her community shows up for her.

Pros: My students get to see a Black elder at the center of a story about generosity and community, they learn a new term for a revered woman/ mother, and I can target IEP goals for a month.

Cons: 0

The companion gives you the blueprint. Grab it here for $5 https://favorite-snow-28198.myflodesk.com/gcej5zxyno

P.S. My whole TPT store is also 50% off through Friday 11/13. 🧡

No one asked us these questions, but describing what was happening at home was the key to getting the support we needed.

School (IEP) teams frequently miss autistic girls because traditionally we've been taught to look for overt behavioral disruptions or obvious delays in development. But for autistic girls the signs are there, we just have to look beneath the surface and beyond male-centered presentations.

Live attendees will be automatically entered to win a prize during one of the 4 wellness breaks. The people who care for others deserve to be cared for too so we are celebrating the individuals behind the professional titles with thoughtful experiences that bring joy, comfort, and a reminder that they deserve care, too.

Thank you to the generous donors helping us make these moments possible.

Out of alllll the books he could have chosen, they chose “Liam’s First Cut” 🥹

I love giving children opportunities to see different experiences through books, but what’s most meaningful is when they see themselves and have conversations that might not otherwise happen.

You did an amazing job Austin and thank you Mommy Aisha Taylor Issah for reminding me why I wanted to share Liam with the world in the first place 🫶🏾
