The Foundations of Co-Regulation, Trauma-Informed Practice, and Inclusive SEL “Practical, real, and exactly what educators need right now.”— Alissa Kostopoulos, BCBA Before students can learn, they must feel safe. Safe to Learn bridges the gap between big ideas and daily practice—giving teachers, administrators, support staff, and families tools they can use right away. ✨ What’s Inside Regulation before expectation → why nervous system safety is the first curriculum. Daily co-regulation strategies → go beyond “calm down” scripts to build real connection. A trauma-informed lens → reframe fight, flight, freeze, and fawn as survival—not misbehavior. Explicit teaching of self-regulation → build routines instead of assuming students “just know.” UDL & sensory checklists → design classrooms where every student feels safe. Family + caregiver guides → bridge support between home and school. Leadership reflection tools → help admins model regulation and reduce burnout. 🛠 Tools You’ll Use Right Away Reflection guides for educators & leaders Family–school collaboration checklist One-page caregiver guide to co-regulation Administrative walkthrough forms & classroom maps Strategy banks, sensory supports, and explicit teaching examples 📦 Choose Your Format Digital PDF → instant access Spiral-Bound Print → lays flat, perfect for PD Bundle (Best Value) → both for the price of print during early release 🎉 Limited-time offer 💡 Why It Matters When students feel safe, they don’t just behave better—they learn better.When educators feel equipped, they don’t just survive—they thrive. Choose your format and start building safer, stronger schools.

A playbook for educators, families, and support staff working toward the same goals. We’ve all been in that moment: the IEP looks solid, the plans are in place, everyone is trying their best… and still, the supports aren’t working. It’s frustrating, exhausting, and it leaves students struggling. Pathway to Support changes that. Written by a cross-disciplinary team of experts — an SLP, an OT, a special educator, and a district leader — this guide bridges classroom practice, therapy strategies, and system-level insight. The result? A practical, people-centered handbook that shows how to make support work in real life, across every role on the team. Inside You’ll Find 📖 Real classroom case studies that show what works (and how to adjust when it doesn’t) 🧘 Sensory strategies that help students feel comfortable, focused, and ready to learn 🗣️ Accessible communication tools for students across different learners and contexts 😮💨 A 3-step plan (Regulate → Connect → Plan) to guide students back to calm during big emotions 📝 Accommodations in action — practical examples that make a real impact 📊 SMARTIE goal templates that simplify documentation and keep progress clear 🤝 Collaboration tools to keep your team aligned and working toward the same goals ❤️ Support for you — reassurance and perspective for the emotional side of this work Trusted Voices, Fresh Perspectives Written by 👩🏫 Meg Mott, M.S., CCC-SLP (author of The Neurodiversity Affirming Handbook and Navigating Neurodiversity), 👨💼 Eric Oxford, Ed.D. (district leader in special education), 👩⚕️ Tami Santisteban, M.S., OTR/L (school-based OT), and 👩🎓 Filiz Zeybek, Ed.D. (special educator and instructional designer). Together, they combine proven AdaptEd expertise with fresh, field-tested perspectives. Why Pathway to Support Stands Out 👥 Cross-disciplinary & team-centered — strategies that bring every role together 🌱 Practical and adaptable — examples that grow with students’ needs 📖 Clear and accessible — written in everyday language you can use right away Format & Delivery 📦 Printed Copy — High-quality handbook shipped to your door 💻 Digital Edition — Instant download so you can start reading today 🛒 Bundle Option — Get both for the same price as print 👉 Pathway to Support gives you clarity, confidence, and strategies that make support work — for your students, your team, and yourself. 📦 Order now — choose print, digital, or bundle, and start using Pathway to Support today.

The go-to handbook for neurodivergent adults who want less stress and more clarity in daily life. After the success of the Neurodiversity Training Handbook & Resource Toolkit, one question kept coming up: “What about neurodivergent adults?” As a late-diagnosed neurodivergent adult, I created this handbook to share practical strategies that actually work in daily life. Inside, you’ll learn how to: Make routines manageable: simple tools for planning, organization, and executive functioning. Feel more comfortable being yourself: notice how masking shows up and reduce the stress of constantly “performing.” Understand your identity: what diagnosis or self-identification can mean for you—both paths are valid. Strengthen relationships: practical strategies for family, friendships, and romantic partnerships. Thrive at work and at home: approaches for careers, independence, and everyday responsibilities. Why this handbook matters Most resources talk theory. Navigating Neurodiversity gives you strategies you can use today—to cut through overwhelm, reduce stress in daily routines, and build confidence in your relationships, work, and identity. What readers are saying “I love AdaptEd guides and resources! I'm an educational therapist and use them all the time in my practice.
