Episode 96: Co-parenting Neurodiverse Children Post-Divorce with Elaine Taylor-Klaus

Episode 96: Co-parenting Neurodiverse Children Post-Divorce with Elaine Taylor-Klaus

Maneuvering through a divorce is tough. Co-parenting can be even tougher. Parenting a diagnosed or newly diagnosed child with ADHD or neurodiversity post-divorce, well, things can feel downright suffocating at times. This week on the podcast we're talking about parenting a perfectly imperfect complex child in the midst of a divorce.

My guest Elaine Taylor-Klaus is an author, parent educator, and certified coach. She's the co-founder of ImpactADHD.com and co-creator of Sanity School®. When my son was diagnosed with ADHD, Elaine's work truly impacted the way that I moved through my son's diagnosis, parenting, co-parenting with my ex, and everything that came after that.

Seriously. Elaine's work was a lifesaver for me.
