Stop the Overwhelm and Make a Plan is part of our welcome to new members inside our Parent Membership Community, to allow parents to take small steps towards figuring out what the priorities are for their child. (you can move through these steps for each child if you wish)

We focus on the whole child. Their physical, mental, social and learning abilities. If your child has a diagnosis or not - this is not needed to move through these steps.

We want to help our community — and now you are able to be part of our community as well!
