Getting your child real help is harder than it should be.
Are you tired of:
-
Seeing specialist after specialist – and still feeling like nothing is working?
-
Sitting through meetings and filling out the same assessments over and over again?
-
Waiting months for an appointment, only to get a generic checklist that doesn't fit your child?
-
Having a therapist, a school psychologist, a pediatrician – but nobody talks to each other?
-
Interpreting every provider, every report, every recommendation on your own – with no coordinated plan that actually works?
-
Watching your child's teachers only see them at their most overwhelmed – never the child you know at home?
-
Doing everything right and still drowning – while your child is still struggling?
Your neurodivergent child deserves support that actually fits their brain.
And you deserve a partner in this, not just another referral.
Create a Real Plan
A coordinated, neuroaffirming
strategy built around your child's brain and your family's real life.
Build One Coordinated Team
Every provider working toward one shared goal – at home, at school, and everywhere in between.
Let Who Your Child Really Is Come Through
Give your child the support that finally lets the world see what you've always known. And you can breathe again.
CALL ME FIRST
I've been in every room. Now I'm with you.
Call me before you try another referral.
"It's awful to leave more confused than when you walked in. Especially with a child who's been dismissed, misread, and underestimated. That's why I do this differently."
- Dr. Sarah Heller, IBA, BCBA, LBA
It's devastating when the people who are supposed to help just don't. When every appointment ends with generic advice that doesn't fit your child. When you've done everything right ... and your child is still struggling.
I've sat on classroom floors with kids who had given up on the adults who were supposed to help them. I've watched parents cry with relief, because for the first time, someone truly understood their child and built something that actually worked. And their child started thriving. That's why I do this work the way I do it.
I HELP NEURODIVERGENT INDIVIDUALS AND THEIR FAMILIES
CREATE A COORDINATED, NEURO-AFFIRMING PLAN BUILT AROUND YOUR CHILD'S BRAIN AND YOUR FAMILY'S REAL LIFE.
HERE'S HOW MY APPROACH IS UNIQUE
Your providers handle their piece. I handle the whole picture.
I coordinate behavioral, academic, and communication support so your child's entire team is finally working together.
I've spent 20+ years inside schools, clinics, and family homes.
I know what actually moves the needle for neurodivergent children, and what just looks good on paper.
I'm not here to make your child neurotypical.
I'm here to build the plan that finally lets who your child actually is come through.
"You helped my child more in one year than all of the therapists she's had in 16 years."
Let's figure out your child's next right step – together.
Here's How It Works
Book Your Thriving Child Strategy Call
Tell me where you and your child are. We'll assess your situation, identify what
your child needs most, and map out a clear path forward so you know exactly
where to start and what to do next.
We Build Your Child's Coordinated Support Plan Together
We create a personalized, neuroaffirming strategy built around your child's brain
and your family's real life – so you're ready for whatever comes.
Watch Your Child Become Who They Were Always Meant to Be
Your child gains the ability to show the world who they truly are. Others finally
get to see it too. And you can breathe again.
From drowning in referrals and generic checklists to having a real team, a real plan, and movement that matters.
The Thriving Child MethodTM
Get your child the coordinated support they deserve.
"Every milestone gets the moment it deserves."
Don't stay stuck in a system that was never built for your child.
More assessments. More phone calls. More meetings. More waiting for
the next referral, hoping it'll finally be different. But nothing changes.
Your child stays isolated. You're still the only one holding it all together
– drowning in a system that was never built for either of you. And your
child never gets to show the world who they truly are.

L. Family
"Dr. Heller's impact on our family is not something that we can measure (although she would probably have some cool graph saying otherwise!). Our daughter has gained so many important skills and her future remains bright. We are so grateful for her help over the years!"
School Administrator
"Dr. Heller's ability to bring teams of people together is truly remarkable. She has a honest and true sense of what is best for children and that shines through in every meeting. Not only is she an incredibly knowledgeable person but she is an advocate for those who cannot advocate for themselves first and foremost."
Occupational Therapist
"Dr. Heller is a BCBA who understands and incorporates self regulation, safety and fun into sessions. We have worked so well as a team and the impact on [our shared student] is leaps beyond where I thought it would be this year."
P. Family
"Do you know how amazing Dr. Heller is at her job? I just wish there were more BCBAs like her, that are not only knowledgeable and talented, but extremely hard working and kind as well. I never could have imagined my son would be able to function as independently as he does now."
Speech Pathologist
"Talk about collaboration! It takes a village to support a child with unique needs and Dr. Heller certainly knows how to make everyone's voice feel valued and ensure they are part of the process. From parents to teams, she works tirelessly to let everyone's strengths shine and because of that, our clients improve the most!"
S. Family
"Dr. Heller's involvement in his plan ensured everyone understood the correlation between his medical issues, his feelings, and his behaviors. Her diligence and expertise created a plan that not only helped him reach his goals but allowed him the tools to be his strongest advocate. That is noteworthy and we are grateful for her guidance."
