I’m so glad you’re here. This community was created for early childhood educators and EAs who are supporting autistic and neurodivergent learners—and who want practical tools without overwhelm. I work in special education and specialize in: • Resource creation • Autism & neurodiversity • Child development • Mindfulness & self-regulation Like many of you, I’ve seen how powerful the right tool can be—and how exhausting it feels when you’re expected to constantly figure everything out on your own. The Growing Toolbox is meant to be a calm space. A place to share what’s working, ask questions, reflect honestly, and collect tools you can return to again and again. There’s no pressure to post or participate in a certain way. Take what you need. Lurk if that’s helpful. Share when you’re ready. If you feel comfortable, I’d love for you to introduce yourself below: • Your role (EA, ECE, Teacher, etc.) • The age group you work with • One regulation challenge you’re currently seeing You’re not alone here—and I’m really glad you found your way in 🤍
