COMPREHENSIVE · Parenting & Family

Suggested pacing: 8 weeks
Estimated learning time: 12–16 hours

Flexible study estimates include reading, practice and assessment, not academic credit or supervised clinical hours. Real-life experiments may span additional calendar days.

The child-focused parenting foundation: understand and support your neurodivergent child’s regulation, sensory needs, autonomy, communication and development. Parenting While Neurodivergent focuses on the parent’s needs; When Both Parent & Child Are Neurodivergent focuses on interactions between nervous systems within the family.

Prerequisite: No prior Academy course required.

An 8-Week Parent Course Based on Empowerment-Based Integrated Treatment

Stop asking only, “How do I stop this?” Start asking, “What is happening, what does my child need, and what are we trying to teach?”

Empowered Parenting for Neurodivergent Kids gives parents a practical framework for understanding difficult behavior, supporting regulation, addressing sensory needs, setting effective boundaries, building autonomy, and helping neurodivergent children understand themselves without shame. This is not permissive parenting. It is more accurate parenting: understand the child, identify the real problem, support what needs support, teach what needs teaching, and stop fighting battles that do not need to exist.

Enroll online with a one-time payment of $149 USD. Course access begins after successful payment; no application or approval is required.

What EBiT means here

EBiT means Empowerment-Based Integrated Treatment, the framework developed by Angela Fisher, PhD. Academy courses teach its principles of Validation, Acceptance and Nurture for education and practical application. A course is not individualized clinical treatment; its certificate records educational completion and does not confer professional licensure or the Certified EBiT Practitioner credential.
