What is Parent Autism Training?
Your life changed in an instant. You’re feeling defeated, drained, and you’re done with thinking you’ve failed your child. (You haven’t; our broken system has failed you.) You’re tired of getting the runaround from “experts” and dragging your child to appointments. You love your child with all your heart, but what you’re doing just isn’t working. I get it. I’ve been there too. I can help!
Welcome home. We’re so happy you’re here, where you will feel loved, respected and understood, right from “hello!” Below you will find an overview of our approach, so you can determine the best program to suit your needs.
What is Parent Training?
Empowered Parenting Programs are compassionate, parent-focused and evidence-based interventions for parents of autistic children struggling with emotional chaos, exhaustion and difficult behavior.
Our programs improve quality of life for the entire family. We give parents the emotional support, understanding and skills to make lasting change.
What you need to know about our neuroscience-based, family-friendly approach to getting your life, child and family back:
- Our work is based on a developmental approach to autism, and the newest research in neuroscience. We know what works, and supports neurodiverse children and their families to be happier, feel more connected, and enjoy a better future.
- Brain science tells us that to live their best life, your child must have a safe and emotionally-connected relationship with you. Through this emotionally-attuned relationship emotional and social growth is possible.
- As a parent, we put you first, so you can be your best self, and the parent you were meant to be. Self care is essential.
- All children, regardless of their degree of affectedness, have unique strengths and untapped potential that is cultivated through our work.
- In all human beings, the mind and body are inextricably linked. Difficult behavior in neurodiverse children is an outward expression of their internal reality. Behavior is communication; end of story.
- The cherry on top? All of our work is highly effective and appropriate for neurotypical children!
Each of our programs provide simple interventions that are relationship-focused. Parents learn to interact with their child in a new way, causing the child to respond differently in turn. We see the parent as the primary ‘mediator’ of interventions as you spend the most time with your child and can implement skills learned into what you’re already doing daily, to achieve better outcomes and results.
Parents (usually Moms) are the best person to facilitate change in their families. We also know that these interactions occur best in a natural setting where the child has a sense of safety within a relationship (with you). Development occurs in the context of relationships.
Our programs integrate developmental and relationship-based approaches. Your child has a neuro-developmental disorder where development has been impacted. We help you understand why behavior occurs in the first place so you can respond with more empathy and compassion..
In short, we help your child develop at their own pace, instead of pushing the recommended milestone and help you acquire the skills for both you and your child to self-regulate so disruptive behavior and negative patterns diminish.
In addition, we also help parents build their own resilience, reduce their stress and unlearn some old thinking that doesn’t apply to an atypical life. We can’t parent atypical kids the same way we do with typical developing children. You must have a different mindset when parenting an autistic child. Our internal compass needs some new coordinates to get us where we want to go. We help you achieve this!
Who we serve
If you’re living in a battlefield of meltdowns, aggression and noncompliance, and you’re at your wits end, parent training will benefit you! However, you must be open-minded and willing to take direction.
Through small, manageable shifts, quality of life is improved!
- Ability to be “heard” by your child without arguing and power-struggles
- More loving and emotionally-connected relationships
- Reduction in challenging behavior; a happier child
- Increase in your child’s emotional resilience
- Reduction in sensory processing difficulties
- Gradually increase in a sense of competence in parenting your child
We work with parents of children between the ages of 4 and 18. Intervention is best at a younger age but it’s never too late. Most of our clients are moms but we welcome dad’s (or both!!) too.
The best part – no waiting list. You can begin right away in any of our program and work at your own pace with online learning.

Better Behaviour Blueprint
Better Behaviour Blueprint is a foundational program for parents who want to understand what’s really driving their child’s behaviour and how to respond in ways that create lasting change.
