AND, she believes that Parents Matter Most when it comes to helping families. Parent work is the most efficient, effective, and evidence-based child treatment approach that exists.
Allison aims to revolutionize parent support that extends beyond quick-fix parenting strategies found in modern parenting literature. Allison's research and practice have shown her that parents need help creating a Parenting Pathway that is self-generated, ever-evolving, paired with support, and parallels their child's unique journey through typical or atypical development. She guides parents to access their own Parenting Portal and supports parents to use their parenting experiences as opportunities for deep growth.
