As a trauma therapist and a late realized PDAer myself, Casey has provided the most in-depth, well-researched, and comprehensive understanding of how to tie together PDA, the nervous system, and parenting I have come across. I so appreciate Casey's wisdom, commitment to research and neuroscience, as well as her vulnerability in sharing her real life experiences. Her nonjudgmental stance, her honest and open communication, and her consistency in teaching radical acceptance, letting go, and being awake to the present moment speaks to me as a parent, a therapist, and a PDA Autistic person.

Casey, it is no understatement to say that the work you do has changed the trajectory of our family's (and our child's!) life. We will forever be grateful for the enormous amount of work and input you have put into creating this programme, the experiences you have shared and the light of hope you have given us. Thank you is not enough.

After years of struggling and trying everything under the sun, I came across Casey and At Peace Parents. I almost did not sign up as we have spent so much time, money, and trust with āexpertsā that did not understand our situation and made things worse. I am so thankful I did sign up as Casey transformed our lives and we are seeing real, positive changes in our children, ourselves, and in our hope for the future. I feel like she saved our lives and our family. Thank you Casey!

When it comes to support and understanding for parenting a PDA child or teen, Casey Ehrlich and At Peace Parents is quite simply unmatched. As a parent of a beautiful PDA daughter, I know firsthand how confusing, frustrating, and exceptionally difficult the parenting journey can be. More than anyone else in the PDA space, Casey has helped me to deeply understand PDA, and she has provided me with clear and applicable strategies to support me in parenting my daughter.

I am grateful beyond words for what I learned in the Foundations course. For the first time in nearly a decade, I feel equipped with the tools to help my child succeed and thrive. We have already seen specific and measurable improvements in our home life. Thank you.

This course was the most valuable investment I've ever made in my parenting. I was initially hesitant to sign up because the materials Casey makes available on her website and social media are so excellent that I wasn't sure if the Foundations course content would be different or better than what I had already learned. But it absolutely was, and I am so grateful that I did the program. In the course, Casey goes much deeper on the content, provides dozens of examples that drive the teaching home, and pulls all of the complex concepts together. I was already trying to do the accommodations before but this course helped me to understand forces that were holding me back and to apply the accommodations in more depth and more consistently. It enabled me to go all in on changing my approach and the improvement in the past three weeks in my daughter's happiness, energy level, and ability to engage with my husband and me and with the world has been nothing short of miraculous. I cannot recommend this program highly enough.
