Quarter 1: Jan.-Mar.
We’re starting the year off by discussing just what neurodivergence means in 2026, routines & rhythms to create a supportive home environment for your learner & a little spring reset to calm the chaos.
JANUARY
A new year can feel like the perfect time to seek answers, especially if you're beginning to notice that your child thinks, learns, or responds to the world in ways that don’t quite align with what’s considered “typical.” It can be overwhelming but also empowering. While this month often comes with the pressure of new goals, fresh planners & lofty resolutions, throughout January we will be grounding ourselves in understanding. Giving our learners consistency and compassion with sustainable starts, family-centered planning, and rhythms that work for your learner, not against them. We answer questions about neurodiversity and where to begin the the journey feels uncertain. So let’s start at the beginning, together, with clarity, compassion and confidence.
FEBRUARY
For many neurodivergent children, the world can feel loud, fast, and unpredictable. That’s why the environment you create at home matters. This February, we’re focusing on crafting a home environment that works with your learner so they can regulate, recharge, and grow.
MARCH
March can be a tough transition month: routines may unravel, school fatigue builds, and nervous systems get overwhelmed. It’s that in-between season — not quite winter, not fully spring — and for many families with neurodivergent learners, it can feel like a month of almosts and overwhelm. So instead of pushing for productivity & “spring cleaning”, this month, let’s explore how to gently bring calm and clarity back into your home, without adding more pressure to your already full plate.
