Built from Experience, Because We've Been There

Like many of you, our journey started with confusion and worry. As parents to two amazing neurodivergent kids, we found ourselves navigating the complex world of special education feeling overwhelmed and often lost. We didn't know the acronyms, the processes, or even the right questions to ask.

We hit the same walls many parents face: the vague reassurances, the "wait and see" approach while critical time passed, the struggle to get needs acknowledged, let alone met. We learned the hard way that getting the right support often meant knowing the "magic words," persistent advocacy, and frankly, a fight.

We saw firsthand how delayed identification and intervention impacted our own children – like missing crucial reading support in kindergarten despite early signs. But we also saw the incredible progress possible when the *right* resources and strategies were finally put in place, thanks to learning, advocating, and sometimes bringing in outside help like advocates who bridged the gap with the school.

That climb – from knowing nothing to seeing real results, from frustration to effective collaboration – is why NeuroMule exists. We started building tools initially just to manage our own kids' cases, to make sense of the paperwork, and to learn how to advocate better. We realized other parents needed this too.

NeuroMule is our way of sharing what we've learned and building the trail buddy we wish we'd had. It's designed to help carry that heavy load – the paperwork, the jargon, the meeting prep – so you have more energy to focus on your child and your family. We get it, because we live it.
