Feeling stuck in your work and day-to-day, knowing there's more for the non-speaking autistic individuals you serve?
In this course, you’ll break through barriers, embrace growth, and harness the power of a mindset that sees possibilities, not limitations, regardless of the setting you’re in. It's about more than just professional development; it's about reclaiming our power in a system that often feels broken and led by out-of-date approaches. It’s about building a community that uplifts each other to be our best selves.
IT'S TIME TO BE THAT CHANGE.
Any of this sound familiar?
01. You Feel Disconnected & Disempowered
You feel like you're doing a disservice for the individuals you serve and disempowered by your daily work. The typical cookie-cutter goals written for autistic or neurodivergent individuals you serve just aren’t cutting it.
02. Work Overflows into Your Personal Life
You experience frustrations and inadequate feelings from work that roll over into your personal life. This manifests as being lazy and undriven for positive change in your physical and mental health. You feel like you’re unable to take control of how you’re using your degree and training, which was once a passion and filled you up and fueled your personal life.
03. You’ve Questioned Your Career Choice
You’ve either questioned whether being an OT serving this population is right for you or if being an OT at all is right for you. You’ve even hopped around to a few different jobs, hoping things would change. In reality, the change needs to come from within, from all of us, so the system as a whole changes with us.
Imagine…
Having Connected Relationships
Your work is filled with successful sessions with autistic clients (regulated bodies, shared enjoyment and smiles, clear intentional connection of neural pathways, and sensory integration), filling your cup in the process. You feel connected and fulfilled by your work, leaving work at the end of the day feeling like you made an impact on those you serve.
Feeling Confident & Competent
Because your work makes you feel connected and fulfilled, you leave work at the end of the day feeling like you made an impact on those you serve. You consistently implement what you’ve learned, building positive momentum and daily reminders of how capable both yourself and those you serve truly are.
Showing Up As Your Best Self
You wake up excited to invest in yourself to be healthy mentally and physically to then show up at work in the same ways. You go into sessions feeling equipped with ideas and applicable ways to support the autistic community. You feel eager to pursue your professional career and make a life-changing impact.
This is all within reach! Keep reading...

Why This Program
is Different
No more settling for the status quo—I’m here to challenge the norm and pioneer a new approach to OT care. I’ve been through countless CEU courses where I feel the tools I learned don’t truly support this specific community. I honestly, don’t give a sh*t about if this course is “approved” to meet standardized norms of what a course should be or how we were taught in school. I’ve learned how standardized anything puts us in a box that we don’t fit in. I’m not here for any of that, and I will keep it real, share firsthand experiences, and the voices of those that live this experience. “Nothing about them, without them."
