A New Approach for Parenting Neurodivergent Teens and Young Adults

 

Talk To Dr. Ed Callahan About How This Approach Can Dramatically Change The Results You're Getting With Your Neurodivergent Teen or Young Adult:

Hi, I'm  Dr. Ed Callahan

Even though we haven't worked together yet, I bet I know a few things about you...

  • You are overwhelmed, walking on eggshells every day to avoid meltdowns and trying to manage your neurodivergent teen’s unpredictable emotions and behavior. 
  • Your family dynamic is strained, and it feels like you're constantly fighting fires while your other children feel neglected.
  • You worry about your teen or young adult’s future– whether they will be able to thrive independently, have a successful career, or maintain relationships.
  • You’re frustrated that traditional parenting advice seems to make things worse, leaving you feeling helpless, guilty, and judged by others. 

You’re Not Alone…. And There Is A Better Way! 

Imagine a life where:

  • Your home is a place of peace and mutual understanding, free from constant conflict.
  • Your teen engages in open and meaningful conversations with you.
  • Meltdowns are rare, and when they do occur, they are managed calmly and effectively.
  • Your family enjoys outings and activities without the fear of disruptions.
  • Your teen balances technology use with other fulfilling activities and hobbies.
  • Siblings feel valued and relationships within the family strengthen.
  • You and your partner feel connected and unified in your parenting approach.
  • Your teen thrives academically, with improved focus and motivation.
  • You see your teen/young adult developing the skills needed for independent living and future success.
  • Stress and exhaustion are replaced with confidence and hope for the future.
  • You have a supportive community that understands and shares your journey.
  • Your teen builds healthy friendships and social connections.
  • Daily routines become smoother, with your teen taking responsibility for self-care and chores.
  • You regain personal time to pursue your own interests and your own self-care.
  • The entire family experiences improved emotional well-being and happiness.

Every week I release new episodes with knowledge, information, and know-how to help you raise a successful kid in a peaceful and happy home.

Let me introduce

My Background 

 

I work with families across the country to successfully reintegrate teens home from treatment programs.  I also help families launch young adults into independence.

Even more importantly, I work with families to prevent out-of-home treatment placements altogether. 

Over my career - I noticed something...

Traditional approaches to parenting and therapy are failing the neurodivergent community as providers just do not understand you or your teen's needs.

This leads to unnecessary strife, conflict, and misunderstanding within your home - and even more tragically - potentially unnecessary out-of-home treatment placements.

I have seen time and time again, with proper coaching, support, and instruction, parents can learn to embrace their teen's strengths while navigating the unique challenges of neurodiversity.

I have dedicated my career to educating and training parents, ensuring these young people are truly understood and properly supported...
