Professional development to help every student succeed

Strengthen educator skills, improve student outcomes, and build a more inclusive school culture with our neurodivergent-led professional development.

What makes our professional development different?

Our sessions blend the lived experience of our autistic and ADHD facilitators with research-informed strategies to create lasting impact. Educators learn not just to support students, but to truly understand and respond to their learning needs.

3-Part PD for Lasting Change

One workshop can spark change, but lasting growth takes time. Our 3-part PD series helps educators build skills they can use right away. Book a single session or the full series, depending on your school's needs. When paired with our SEL platform, Ava, educators can continue practicing and reinforcing these skills for sustainable, long-term impact.

Session 1

Starting Strong: Foundations for Supporting Neurodiverse Learners

This session builds a strong understanding of neurodivergent learner profiles and how sensory needs, communication styles, and executive functioning affect learning and how students navigate school. Educators walk away with practical ways to adjust routines, build trust, and support students in ways that feel validating and affirming.

Session 2

Responding, Not Reacting: Behavior Support That Works

This session covers practical, trauma-informed behavior support. Educators learn what behavior communicates, how to address challenging moments before they escalate, and how to support students through executive functioning challenges. We also explore co-regulation, effective collaboration with colleagues and families, and how to implement support plans that work in real time.

Session 3

Building Independence and Advocacy

In this session, educators focus on helping students grow long-term skills like independence, self-advocacy, and self-regulation. These skills are especially important as students move into new grades, classrooms, or schools. Educators will reflect on student growth and identify ways to intentionally build independence into classroom routines and IEPs.
