The Parent Portal

The Parent Portal

Light conversations for parents living with heavy things. A teacher - behavior analyst joins a parent - paraprofessional to explore practical ways to support behavior change. Together, we talk through turning some behaviors up and others down, with a laugh along the way. The Parent Portal is a parenting podcast offering practical, evidence-based guidance for families facing real behavior challenges. Each episode centers on a parent question or difficult behavior and breaks down what may be causing it. We offer concrete strategies to increase helpful skills or reduce behaviors that are getting in the way. The Parent Portal is a place to think clearly, talk honestly, and approach parenting challenges with curiosity and humor. The perspectives shared are grounded in behavior analysis and special education and are intended for general educational purposes. This podcast does not provide medical or therapeutic services and is not a substitute for individualized professional support. Our experience comes from working with autistic and neurodivergent individuals and people with developmental delays across a variety of settings, though the information may be helpful for any parent or caregiver working to support behavior change.
