Are you a mom feeling utterly drained, navigating the maze of raising a neurodivergent child without much success? I've been there. My own journey, raising a neurodivergent daughter, was filled with challenges and setbacks. But through my professional background and personal experience, I've gained invaluable expertise that transformed my approach. Now, I'm eager to share the strategies that led to my success, including raising my teen grandson with autism.

Learning with 2 Be Social has been such an amazing learning experience. I was reluctant to try it at first because I thought it was going to be about social skills, which I have tried in the past and has never worked for me.
