The Pivot for Parents and Educators: Looking at Autism & ADHD Through a Different Lens — Paperback

Understanding neurodivergence looks different depending on where you’re standing — and for many parents and educators, the starting point is simply finding language and framing that makes sense. The Pivot for Parents and Educators: Looking at Autism and ADHD Through a Different Lens by Kim Gallo is a plain-language resource designed to help caregivers and educators shift their perspective on autism and ADHD. Topics include an overview of neurotypical and neurodivergent brain differences, types of neurodivergence, sensory input and processing, self-regulation conversations, identifying and reducing environmental stressors, current language on autism and ADHD, and the role of mindset in supporting neurodivergent children. At 150 pages, it is a focused, accessible read written for the everyday parent and educator rather than a clinical audience.

We carry this at EOWD for families, caregivers, teachers, support professionals, and neurodivergent households where autism and ADHD understanding and a neurodiversity-informed perspective are part of an ongoing conversation. The “different lens” approach makes it a natural fit for caregiver resource shelves, educator awareness discussions, school support planning, family learning, and autism and ADHD resource collections. Every autistic and ADHD child is an individual — with their own communication style, learning needs, sensory profile, executive functioning differences, strengths, and support needs — and this book is best used as a starting point for perspective-shifting, alongside the guidance of qualified professionals who know your specific child.

This book supports caregiver learning, educator awareness, and a neurodiversity-informed perspective for families, caregivers, teachers, and support professionals. It does not fix behavior, guarantee classroom success, treat autism or ADHD, or replace individualized school support or therapy. Strategies should always be chosen based on the specific child’s needs and the guidance of qualified professionals.

Explore the parent and educator resource that offers a different lens — and a starting point for understanding.
