Parenting a Neurodivergent Child Shouldn’t Feel This Lonely
You’re doing everything you can, but it still feels like no one really gets what you’re going through.
Your child might be thriving at school, or at least appearing to. Teachers and coaches see their potential, their creativity, and their kindness. But at home, it’s a different story:
Meltdowns. Sensory overload. Explosive emotions. Refusal. Exhaustion.
Your child feels safest with you, so you get the whole picture. But that doesn’t make it easier when you’re the one absorbing the daily storms.
You’ve asked yourself:
• Is this ADHD? Autism? PDA?
• Why does everything feel like a power struggle?
• Should we be pushing for an IEP or 504 plan?
• Am I doing something wrong, or missing something important?
• Will this get better, or are we stuck in survival mode?
The truth?
Traditional parenting advice wasn’t made for neurodivergent kids.
You need more than generic behavior plans and sticker charts. You need support rooted in neurodiversity-affirming, trauma-informed practices, designed for your unique family.
We’re RootED Family Advocates, LLC—And We’re Here to Help
We specialize in helping families like yours understand what’s happening beneath the behaviors—so you can stop guessing and start responding confidently.
We’ll work together to:
• Decode challenging behaviors and sensory needs
• Navigate school supports like IEPs and 504s
• Build a plan that reduces meltdowns without shame or punishment
• Strengthen your relationship with your child—and with yourself
• Help you feel empowered, not overwhelmed
Rooted in Understanding. Grounded in Advocacy.
At RootED Family Advocates, LLC, we know that parenting a neurodivergent child often means living in the in-between—between being told “they’re fine” and knowing deep down something isn’t working… between fighting for school support and trying to hold it all together at home.
We’re here to bridge that gap.
Founded by a parent and professional who has walked this road firsthand, RootED is more than a coaching or advocacy service, it’s a partner in your journey. We believe in neurodiversity, not normalcy, and in honoring every child’s needs without shame or fear-based strategies.
Our work is grounded in:
• Neurodiversity-affirming practices
• Trauma-informed, relationship-based support
• Realistic strategies that fit your life, not just a textbook
• Empowering caregivers to Advocates with clarity and confidence
You don’t have to choose between connection and boundaries, or between emotional regulation and school success. With the proper support, your family can have both.
IEP & 504 Advocacy
Navigating special education doesn’t have to be so confusing. We guide you through the process—so you know what to ask for, how to document it, and how to build a support plan that works for your child, not against them.
• IEP/504 review and preparation
• School meeting support (virtual or in-person if local)
• Clear action plans and communication strategies
