If your child is on the spectrum, you are not alone! We know how hard it can be; but things can get SO much better!
Can You Keep a Secret?
22 years ago, Sue Simmons felt like the worst parent in the world. Perhaps like you, she expected “typical” parenting to work with her son – and it didn’t, which is likely why you’re here today.
She couldn’t find a way to stop his over-the-top behavior challenges. It was brutal. She thought that he was “the problem.”
Nothing was working. She felt like she had failed him as his parent. Can you relate?
Despite putting her son in all kinds of therapies, nothing helped her at home. Sge was in tears every single day and constantly losing her sh*t…
She started a support group, hoping to get some answers, and she wanted to help others. To her surprise, the group grew quickly. Parents drove long distances to attend meetings. Most of them struggled with meltdowns, defiance, and controlling behavior!
One day someone brought in a brochure on a “parent-based” program that caught her attention. She wanted to learn to parent her son, and to have an honest-to-goodness relationship with him! This was a totally different approach to autism that would change her life (and her son’s).
She found a refreshing, compassionate approach!
This new way of understanding autism empowered her as a parent, and was WAY more effective than the traditional methods that had been recommended. She went from barely being able to face the day to parenting her son with way more ease, and watching his development soar. Everything sge learned to do with her son fit seamlessly into their daily routines.
She went from looking like Alice Cooper (smudged makeup from crying) to an empowered Mom! And her son began to thrive; school was WAY better, and at home, they were actually having FUN!!
Transform Your Child’s Future with Proven Strategies
When Sue discovered a life-changing intervention for children with autism, it felt like magic—something too powerful to keep to herself.
Determined to make a difference, she spent two years training under expert psychologists, then dedicated the next decade to working one-on-one with hundreds of families. Her results were so transformative that parents began calling her their “secret weapon.”
As word spread, more families sought her guidance. But with limited time, she knew she couldn’t help everyone privately. She wanted every parent to have access to the same tools and strategies that had changed so many lives.
That’s why she partnered with Karen Hilts to create Better Behavior and Beyond, an accessible, affordable online program designed to give you the knowledge and skills to support your child’s growth and well-being.
Although we lost Sue in December 2023, her mission continues. With her family’s blessing, her legacy lives on through this program, ensuring that more families can experience the breakthroughs she made possible.
Your Child’s Progress Starts Today
This is not your fault—but now you have the power to create change. With the right knowledge, you can take action and see real results for your child and your family.
Better Behavior & Beyond is filled with practical step-by-step lessons that build on previous learning – with evidence-based strategies to jump-start your results.
Transformation doesn’t take place overnight. You will move step by step through my foundational success path so you can apply what you’ve learned, and then move forward.
Here’s your chance to uncover strategies to…
(1) Understand the root causes behind behavior from a developmental perspective and significantly decrease power struggles, meltdowns, and tantrums.
(2) How to shift your child’s behavior in ways that will help him/her to think and problem-solve on their own and help them begin processing information at a pace s/he can handle (without the meltdown!)

(4) How to build confidence and resiliency in yourself AND your child! Experience the domino effect that happens when you begin experiencing less stress and positive growth. You’ll see more compliance and positive behaviors as your child (…and get your own groove back mama!!)

Welcome
Before We Start
Welcome and Introduction, gives you the preliminary info that helps you prepare for the lessons so you know exactly what to expect. We’ll also share an evidence-based stress relief tool you can use in the moment anytime anywhere and use whenever you need it.
Module 1
Making Sense Of Autism
The first module is about seeing autism in a way that makes sense so that you can begin to understand what’s really going on for your child. There are a ton of AHA’s in this first module that will bring clarity around autism and behaviors.
You’ll quickly see why you feel so frustrated as a parent, and that what you’re experiencing is NOT your fault (mean it)!
Module 2
Resilient Parenting
We begin building your resilience as a parent so you can ditch the stress and overwhelm and start showing up as the best version of yourself. We will be stripping back some beliefs that no longer serve you so you feel totally focused and in control of the future. We’re also going to teach you simple tools to start showing up differently so you can stop power struggles in their tracks.
Module 3
Personal Manifesto
Based on what you’ve learned so far, you’ll put together Your Personal Manifesto so you have clarity around your triggers, your negative thought habits, and ways to shift them. You’ll also set some new goals – and why they matter, so when you feel discouraged you can refocus quickly and get back on track.
Module 4
Communication
We begin to dive deeper into understanding your child and how to communicate to build your emotional connection, so that you can start FEELING THE LOVE, respect, and happiness oozing from your child. Connect in way you never thought was possible!
Module 5
Calming Life At Home
This module is all about Calming Life at Home, where you’ll learn communication tools to navigate around power struggles so you can help your child hear you AND follow through on things you ask them to do without the nagging, disrespect and defiance.
Module 6
Behavior
I help you understand the underlying cause of behavior and the dangers of rewards and consequences. We look at setting effective limits so that you can start “decoding” behavior, understanding your child’s struggles and how to navigate challenges in a constructive, loving way.
Module 7
Signals Of Safety
We begin understanding your child’s autonomic nervous system, and knowing how to navigate explosive behavior so you can help your child recognize their own escalating stress and learn to regulate and self-calm before things get out of hand! This is about helping your child to feel safe and become more resilient.
.
Module 8
Understanding Sensory Issues
We look at how our sensory systems work so that you can help your child feel more comfortable in their own skin, experience less agitation caused by their unique sensory seeking and avoiding behavior and safe in their environment.
Module 9
Team Work
We will begin creating systems that get you and your child working in unison. We will also introduce you to circle of support systems so you always feel supported in any environment.
Module 10
When Things Go Sideways
We will show you what to do when things go sideways and gives you a step by step plan to troubleshoot when things derail. We will show you how to see the big picture so you can determine how to get things back on track to navigate challenges now, tomorrow and right into adulthood!
This program is about equipping you to create a brighter future and helping your child feel happier and more connected to you.
(Research proves that this is the key to best outcomes.)
We know the cost you’ve already had to bear. Emotionally, physically, and financially. We was exactly where you were. When something isn’t working, it’s easy to be skeptical when someone provides a glimmer of hope, right?
If you’re like most people we work with, you will start seeing results in the first few weeks of starting the program and the wins keep coming. We’ve kept Sue’s program “as-is” with some minor updates and reduced the cost. We also added new additions which weren’t included in the original program such as mp3’s, transcripts, online community and some additional lessons. You’re getting all the benefits plus new additions all at a lower cost.
