Guest Experts
Since our founding in 2011, we have been collaborating with and featuring guest experts to bring a wide range of perspectives on complex kids, coming from the fields of Parenting, Coaching, ADHD, Autism, anxiety and other aspects of mental health, learning issues and related issues.
Our wide range of trusted experts -- whether they've written articles for our site or been interviewed on our podcast or in our summits -- help you to focus on new ways to look at your children's challenges and how to best support them.
When you stay current on the issues and look for new perspectives -- whether as a parent or a professional -- the children in your care will benefit. Below you'll find links and bios for (almost all) of the more than 400 professionals who have shared their expertise with our community since 2011.
