The Workshop Collaborative
Supporting kids who learn differently by guiding the grown-ups who love them most.
What we do
The Workshop Collaborative helps families navigate the complexities of supporting a child who learns differently. That might include interpreting a recent psychoeducational evaluation, preparing for a school meeting, advocating for the right accommodations, or identifying next steps in a school journey that doesn’t feel clear yet.
We partner closely with parents, school teams, psychologists, and service providers to create a plan that is practical, student-centered, and rooted in a deep understanding of how learning works.
Our approach
At the core of our work is a passion for helping both parents and students understand how the brain works.
For parents, that means offering clarity, perspective, and a supportive presence as you make sense of your child’s learning profile and advocate for their needs. For students, that means breaking down their unique cognitive and academic profile in an affirming way so they can understand how they learn, build confidence, and begin to self-advocate with pride.
Why this matters
We’ve sat at hundreds of school meetings, sometimes across the table from worried parents, sometimes as the teacher or learning specialist helping to write the plan. We know what it feels like to be overwhelmed, unheard, or unsure. We also know how powerful it is when a child feels understood, when a family feels supported, and when a school finally puts the right pieces in place.
This isn’t just about paperwork and meetings. It’s about building trust, making informed decisions, and helping kids thrive.
Let’s work together
Whether you're just starting to explore learning differences or you're already deep into the journey and need a guide, we are here to help. We’ll walk with you, translate the jargon, and help you find the path forward.
Let’s figure it out, together.
