What Other Parents are Saying:

Deena Scoonamaker, parent of 7 and educator

I've had the pleasure and honor of knowing Dr. Ilyssa Bass for many years. As a parent and educator, I know there are so many families struggling with children who just do not fit into conventional parenting approaches. These kids need something more. This course has the potential to transform parents' experience of their unique child. You will find a wealth of wisdom, guidance and support in her approachable and compassionate teaching style.

Rachel, mother of 2

I highly recommend Ilyssa Silverman’s course. I was feeling naively hopeful but also largely clueless about how to proceed with my sons intense aggression towards my baby as well as challenges with intense emotions, high distractibility, being overly social with adults and shut down in school and much more. No typical resource was resolving these challenges but I kept trying. Learning from Ilyssa has been a crucial step in my journey as a mother. I feel empowered with clarity and knowledge about real brain differences that my son likely has as well as tools and clear steps forward to ensure I am receiving early intervention as fully as possible. I feel clear now and grounded and most of all not alone in my difficulties with my son. It’s a well grounded course that covers all important components of the topic of hidden differences. I highly recommend!

Faigy, mother of a large blended family

This course stopped the reactive parenting rut I was in while trying to survive the whirlwind of tending to everyone's needs. it was so great to stop and think about what is really going on with my kids and how to be a truly present and empathic mother. my home is calmer as I relax!
