Understanding Autism. Explaining Comorbidities. Building Skills.
If your child's skills and behaviors seem inconsistent, ahead in some areas, stuck in others, there's a biological reason. Kimberly found it, and built a learning system that works with it.
Explore NeuroToggle®
Learn the neuroplasticity-based system for supporting autistic skill and behavior development.
Discovering Autism and the Comorbidities
Kimberly's memoir and documentary about helping her nonverbal daughter speak and developing the model.
Systems for Understanding Neurodivergence
Kimberly created two systems to understand neurodivergence as she helped her nonverbal autistic daughter speak.
NeuroToggle® is a system for neurodivergent learning. BioToggle® is a systems framework for neurodivergent biochemistry.
NeuroToggle®
Organizes teaching strategies around how sensory, cognitive, and motor circuits develop.
Build · Strengthen · Expand · Time
BioToggle®
Explains how regulatory system domains and temporal system domains influence genetic and epigenetic regulation of protein activity.
Biological regulation · Timing · Trait clustering
Research Progress Tracking
Track the model from theoretical and emerging evidence toward diagnostic and treatment development.
Start With What Your Child Needs
The parent hub explains why your child may have a particular combination of autism traits and comorbidities, as well as which questions require educational support versus medical evaluation.
Teaching Strategy Meets Neural Circuit Development
Skills and behaviors are produced through sensory, cognitive, and motor circuits working together.
NeuroToggle® provides a framework for organizing teaching strategies around how those circuits develop so skills and behaviors can be built, strengthened, expanded, and timed through instruction.

Kimberly Kitzerow
Kimberly Kitzerow is an educator specializing in data synthesis and a neurodivergent advocate.
Her work began while searching for answers and practical ways to support her nonverbal autistic daughter.
