Why I created P.E.A.R.L.
After more than 20 years of parenting neurodivergent children and now young adults, I needed a framework that worked in the real world — not just on paper.
P.E.A.R.L. is what I wish I had back then. It’s the combination of everything I’ve learned, unlearned, and refined through years of living this life, along with the tools and strategies that have actually made a difference in our home.
