🧡BE UNDERSTOOD 

When adults see the child behind the behavior, the child starts to see themselves with pride.

Turn misunderstandings into empathy.

Neurodivergent behavior is a language. These letters translate it.

These letters are designed to:

  • put the child at the center of 504 and IEP conversations

  • harmonize school–home communication and reduce conflict

  • translate behaviors into emotional + cognitive needs educators can act on

  • support consistent, empathy-based language across teams

  • help kids understand and express their learning profile with confidence

  • give teachers quick, practical strategies they can use immediately

  • strengthen relationships between students, parents, and educators
     

Created from a guided questionnaire, More Than Behavior™ Letters help teachers, parents, and students understand the why behind the behavior — emotion, stress, learning profile, and what actually helps.

💛BE HEARD

When students understand their learning profile, they stop blaming themselves — and start speaking up with confidence.

Give students the language, tools, and self-awareness they need to advocate for their needs with pride.

The Student Advocacy Lab teaches kids how to:

  • identify their strengths, sensitivities, and learning patterns

  • understand the “why” behind their reactions

  • express what helps them learn best

  • build self-confidence during transitions

  • take ownership of their school experience

  • communicate with teachers in a calm, empowered way

​

Built as a two-session workshop, the Advocacy Lab supports middle schoolers during big transitions — especially 5th → 6th and 8th → 9th grade — and helps them develop a healthy, self-assured academic identity.
