Why ALIGN Is Different
Most parenting strategies focus only on calming the child.
ALIGN includes you.
Because co-regulation starts with self-regulation.
Created by Sara Lewis Hartley — neurodiversity advocate, ADHD-certified coach, and author of the Purposefully Me children’s book series — ALIGN blends empathy, neuroscience, and real-life parenting experience to help families build trust, connection, and resilience.
This workbook is designed for parents, caregivers, educators, and therapists who want practical tools they can use immediately.
