Understanding Autism. Explaining Comorbidities. Building Skills.
Autistic skills and behaviors can seem inconsistent. A child may be advanced in some areas, delayed in others, or unable to use a skill consistently. Families and educators are often left with disconnected explanations and no clear path forward. Kimberly identified the biological pattern connecting these differences and built a learning system that works with it.
NeuroToggle®
A learning system specifically built for neurodivergent learners to develop skills and reduce harmful behaviors.
The Discovery
Kimberly's memoir and documentary about helping her nonverbal daughter speak and developing the model.
Systems for Understanding Neurodivergence
Kimberly developed two connected systems while helping her nonverbal autistic daughter learn to speak.
BioToggle®
Explains the causal biochemistry underlying the biochemical patterns that drive autism traits, comorbid traits, and why those traits cluster.
- Explains why comorbid traits cluster together
- Organizes causal biochemical relationships for research and implementation
- Free and public for researchers and licensed professionals to study, test, and implement
NeuroToggle®
Target skills and reduce harmful behaviors with a learning system specifically built for neurodivergent learners.
- Kimberly used it to help her nonverbal autistic daughter with the skill of speech, and used it to reduce harmful behaviors, including head banging
- Target and optimize skill development with precision.
- It can be applied to any skill or behavior
How They Connect
Explains the causal biochemistry underlying the disruption in neural circuit development that produce autism traits.
Applies that understanding by targeting neural circuit development through neuroplasticity informed experience driven learning.
