Grow Your Happy: Frequently Asked Questions

Brain-Smart Resilience Coaching^TM is a revolutionary approach that integrates cutting-edge neuroscience, applied behavior analysis (ABA), and applied positive psychology to improve executive function. It is designed to help neurodiverse children thrive by enhancing their emotional regulation and cognitive flexibility.

Our approach utilizes ABA techniques, including Acceptance and Commitment Training (ACTr) and Cognitive Behavior Training (CBTr) to improve Executive Function (EF) skills, focusing on 2 core EF skills, emotional regulation and cognitive flexibility.

We are committed to using evidence-based practices to ensure the best outcomes for the children and families we support. Our strategies are personalized and tailored to meet the unique needs of each child and family.

Our services are designed for neurodiverse children and their parents who are seeking to build resilience and improve their family's quality of life. We provide tailored strategies that address specific family dynamics and challenges.

Great question! The biggest difference is that Grow Your Happy is led by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA)- a highly trained expert in understanding behavior and teaching skills that last. BCBAs use proven ABA strategies (the gold standard for ASD/ADHD support) to create "personalized "plans, not one-size-fits-all advice. BCBA's track what's working (and what is not) with clear steps, so you can see real growth in skills like handling meltdowns, staying focused, or making friends, never forcing "normal". 

We blend expertise, heart, and science to create lasting change, not quick fixes.

Our philosophy emphasizes empowerment and resilience, helping neurodiverse children and their parents navigate the complexities of life with confidence and optimism. We focus on what is "right" with individuals, promoting well-being and positive growth and development.
