Traditional parenting advice often assumes:
Your child is struggling because they lack motivation, and they just need stronger consequences and firmer boundaries.
If they made it to school yesterday, there’s no reason they shouldn’t be able to do it today.
Resistance, avoidance, or explosive reactions are attempts to manipulate you or control the situation.
If they can spend hours on something they love, basic daily tasks shouldn’t be a problem.
Neurodivergent families know it isn’t that simple.
A Different Approach to Parenting a Neurodivergent Kid
What looks like defiance or disinterest can be a sign that something is getting in the way.
Capacity fluctuates and is easy to overestimate, because the things that consume it are often invisible.
As sensory input, transitions, social demands, and executive functioning load accumulate, your kid may not be able to access the same skills and abilities they can at other times.
That’s why this version of Your Parent Compass combines the evidence-informed YPC curriculum developed by Nancy Cohen, PhD, and Tracy Kalloway, LPC with a neurodiversity- and PDA-affirming approach.
We ask better questions
We look beyond “How do I get my kid to do X?” and ask:
What is their current behavior communicating?
What is making this so hard for them?
What do they want to be different?
What kind of support would make this possible for them?
The goal isn’t permissive parenting or eliminating every demand.
It’s learning to tell the difference between can’t, can’t yet, and can’t like this, so you can put your energy where it will actually work.
What You’ll Learn
Over 10 weeks, you’ll learn practical ways to:
-
Manage your own emotions
Notice when fear, urgency, frustration, or shame has taken over, and make enough space to respond on purpose instead of reacting on impulse.
-
Reduce conflict
Increase positive interactions, reduce negative ones, and roll with resistance so you protect the relationship that gives you influence in your child’s life.
-
Match expectations to what your child can handle
Learn to look at demands, executive functioning, nervous-system capacity, and accommodations so you can make more intentional decisions about when to help, adapt, or let something go.
-
Get out of power struggles
Use lower-pressure communication to cut down on unnecessary battles and make it more likely your child will tell you what’s going on.
-
Problem-solve together
Move away from repeated lectures, threats, and arguments toward solutions your child is more likely to take part in.
Who Is This Program For?
For parents and caregivers of struggling tweens, teens, and young adults.
✔ Frequent conflict, meltdowns, or shutdowns
✔ School avoidance or refusal
✔ Executive functioning difficulties
✔ Anxiety or depression
✔ Hygiene, chores, screens, or daily living struggles
✔ Risky behavior
✔ Self-harm
✔ Different parenting approaches between caregivers
✔ Feeling like everything you try backfires
Your child may be autistic, ADHD, PDA or demand-sensitive, anxious, depressed, or highly sensitive. Maybe you’re still trying to understand what’s going on.
Evidence-Informed. Neurodivergence-Affirming.
The curriculum draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), behavioral parenting approaches, and Collaborative Problem Solving.
✔ Reducing unnecessary demands and pressure, so avoidable power struggles never start
✔ Matching expectations to actual capacity, and knowing when to let something go, make it easier, or offer more support
✔ Using low-pressure communication that preserves autonomy and makes collaboration easier
We keep that practical, relationship-centered foundation and add what neurodivergent families actually need.
What the Program Includes
10 weekly live sessions. We meet virtually for 90 minutes each week, in a small cohort of about 5 to 8 families.
Sessions combine teaching, practical examples, reflection, and time to apply the ideas to real situations in your own home.
One private parent consultation. Enrollment includes a 60-minute individual session with Becca to apply the program to your own family.
Resources and between-session practice. You get all program materials, plus chances to practice the skills between sessions.
Make-up options. It works best when at least one caregiver attends live each week. When life interferes, make-up materials are available.
All caregivers welcome. One enrollment covers everyone supporting the same family: parents, co-parents, partners, stepparents, grandparents.

Meet Your Facilitator
Hi, I’m Becca
Becca Gregory, LICSW. I’m a licensed clinical social worker and neurodiversity-affirming therapist who works with neurodivergent adults and families.
Before private practice, I spent years working with children, adolescents, young adults, and families across child welfare and community mental health.
Today much of my work involves helping neurodivergent people and their families make sense of patterns that have been repeatedly misunderstood as defiance, laziness, lack of motivation, or poor parenting.
I’m not interested in teaching you how to get your child to comply.
I’m interested in helping you understand your child more accurately, work out what is and isn’t working in your family, and respond in ways that respect neurodivergent needs without abandoning your own needs, or your role as a parent.
