Hi! I’m Shannon.

If you’re educating a neurodiverse or disabled child, you know that navigating their learning journey can feel overwhelming, with unexpected challenges arising at every turn.

And let’s be real—you’re not going to go at it alone without a few strategies, resources, and assistance along the way. I’m right there on the path with you.

My journey started as a young teacher in a rural town, teaching 93 kids in a trailer with no curriculum, no books, no internet connection, and just a single ream of copy paper for company. Weekends were spent scavenging for anything that could spark interest in reading for my students, from comic books to music magazines. By Monday, our classroom buzzed with laughter, shared stories, and real engagement, and I knew I’d found my path: making learning feel personal and alive.

A few years and a master’s degree in special education and brain-based learning later, I was blending individualized approaches with neuroscience. I weaved sensory activities, regulation tools, and trauma-informed practices into my curriculum. My students’ scores rose, but more importantly, so did their sense of belonging.

These students taught me how different brains work,

how connection can light the way,

and how meeting learners where they are is the

true start to progress.

Fast forward to today, and I’m homeschooling a neurodiverse crew with a range of disabilities myself. Traditional school didn’t work, so we forged our own trail (PDA, I’m waving at you!); Homeschooling turned out to be the path where we could flourish. And here’s the thing: those lessons from the classroom came right back to light the way.

Now, I’m here to help parents and teachers find the path that works for their kids and students — trails that make learning meaningful, meet each brain where it’s at, and measure success in steps forward, however big or small.
