I offer a step-by-step roadmap for overwhelmed parents of neurodivergent children who want fewer meltdowns, clearer routines, and the confidence to respond instead of react, even if nothing else has worked.
This parent-focused program allows for immediate, independent implementation. Support is available if needed, though most families find it unnecessary.
Youâve likely tried:
Sticker charts
Rewards and consequences
Routines that work for a week and then fall apart
Advice that makes you feel like youâre doing everything wrong
You love your child deeply â yet some days feel like constant firefighting.
Mornings are tense.
Transitions explode out of nowhere.
Meltdowns leave you questioning yourself after everyone calms down.
Youâre not failing.
Youâre missing a clear regulation plan that actually fits your child.
Hereâs the truth most parents are never told:
Many âbehavior problemsâ are actually signs of an overwhelmed nervous system.
When you donât understand whatâs driving the reaction, you end up:
guessing
overcorrecting
feeling reactive instead of confident
Once you understand how your childâs nervous system works â everything changes.
Thatâs what The Regulation Roadmap is designed to give you.
On this call, youâll walk away with real insight into your childâs regulation needs, whether or not you join the program.
Itâs a guided sensory framework created by a pediatric occupational therapist to help you:
understand your childâs sensory and emotional triggers
respond effectively in the moment
build routines that reduce daily overwhelm
stop second-guessing every decision
This isnât about âfixingâ your child.
Itâs about giving you clarity, tools, and confidence, so your home feels calmer and more predictable.
â You stop guessing why meltdowns happen
â You recognize patterns instead of feeling blindsided
â You respond with a plan instead of panic
â Your child feels more supported, and reactions shorten
This is why parents often say:
âNothing changed overnight, but everything felt easier.â
Your child is neurodivergent (ADHD, autism, sensory differences, or suspected)
You feel overwhelmed but motivated to learn
You want practical strategies, not judgment
Youâre ready to stop cycling through trial-and-error
Youâre looking for quick behavioral fixes without understanding the why
Youâre not ready to try new approaches consistently
You want someone to âfixâ your child rather than support regulation
Clarity matters, for both of us.
Inside The Regulation Roadmap, youâll learn how to:
identify your childâs specific regulation triggers
reduce escalation during transitions and tough moments
create predictable routines that actually stick
support regulation without power struggles
feel confident explaining your childâs needs to others
You wonât just learn what to do â youâll understand why it works, so you can adapt it as your child grows.
âWhat if I try this⌠and Iâm still struggling?â
That fear makes sense.
Thatâs why this program focuses on practical application, not perfection.
You donât need to do everything at once.
You donât need to be calm all the time.
You just need clear next steps.
And thatâs what this gives you.
Because your child isnât a template, and neither is your situation.
On this call, we will:
talk through whatâs currently overwhelming you
identify whatâs driving your childâs reactions
determine whether The Regulation Roadmap is the right next step
Thereâs no pressure.
No obligation.
Even if we donât work together, youâll leave with clarity you didnât have before.

The Regulation Roadmap
Finally, a step-by-step roadmap built for overwhelmed parents of neurodiverse kids.
â¨
Learn how to calm big behaviors, decode hidden triggers, and feel like a confident parent again â without therapy overload, sticker charts, or second-guessing yourself.
Because it was built from inside the meltdown,not from a textbook.
Hi, Iâm Sam.
Iâm not a parenting influencer. Iâm a pediatric OT whoâs worked with thousands of families trying to raise neurodiverse kids in a neurotypical world.
What I saw over and over: well-meaning parents using the wrong tools for the job, and blaming themselves when it didnât work.
That ends now.
This roadmap gives you the tools I use in clinic, adapted for real-life homes, and grounded in the science of regulation, not behavior punishment.
You love your child more than anything.
But most days, it feels like youâre one meltdown away from losing it.
The explosive emotions. The unpredictability. The shame spiral when the strategies you thought would work⌠donât.
You're not just tired. You're done â walking on eggshells, feeling lost, and wondering if this is just how itâs going to be.
The truth?
Your child isnât broken. And neither are you.
But the tools youâve been given donât match your reality.
Itâs time for something built for your family.
The only self-paced, step-by-step system designed for parents of neurodiverse kids, by a pediatric occupational therapist whoâs supported thousands of families just like yours.
It's not behavior. It's dysregulation.
Meltdowns arenât manipulative.
Theyâre protective.
When a childâs nervous system is overwhelmed by:
sensory input
transitions
emotions
uncertainty
demands
internal discomfort
their body reacts before their words can.
Once you understand this, everything changes.
