August 27th, 2024 - Homeschooling Consult​
​
My husband and I had a fantastic homeschool consultation at Raising Brain! Ashley provided an age specific information packet for our kids and a great list of resources, including our county’s superintendent contact and where to send our NOI. We especially appreciated her advice to email the NOI for an easily accessible record. If you’re considering homeschooling or need help with curriculum or learning goals, we highly recommend starting with Ashley! We only wish we could join her Microschool, but we're a bit too far.

October 25th, 2024 - Neuro-Affirming Parenting Consultation​
​
Working with Ashley has been an absolute game-changer for me as a parent. She has a unique way of making things so much easier to understand. One of the simplest but most impactful things she taught me was how to redirect instead of getting stuck in the loop of explaining why he can't do something. As a parent to a demand-avoidant child, I’ve realized how triggering the word "no" can be, and she helped me reframe my approach. Ashley also taught me to ask myself why I’m saying no before just reacting, and she showed me how to offer alternatives or even say no in a way that doesn’t put my child on the defensive. Her advice has made a real difference in our daily interactions, and I feel much more confident in my parenting. Ashley is amazing, and I highly recommend her, especially if you're new to navigating autism or ADHD as a parent. 10/10!

​
I truly appreciated Ashley's insight into the logistics and requirements of homeschooling and how I could meet them without turning our lives upside down. Ashley also has an incredible wealth of knowledge about all things neurodivergent, and I can't thank her enough for sharing not only information and strategies, but also her personal experiences with me to help me make these big decisions and move forward with our homeschool journey. In the past, I have always walked away from parent/teacher conferences or even parenting sessions with therapists feeling like I'm doing everything wrong and really messing my kid up. However, I walked away from my consult with Ashley feeling empowered and hopeful about our situation and future plans. Thank you, Ashley!
