Parenting Neurodivergent kids
Workshop 1: The Biology of Learning
Penny Williams is a behavior and parenting coach specializing in supporting families raising neurodivergent kids — those with ADHD, autism, anxiety, and other differences in how they experience the world.
Through her SIGNAL Parenting™ framework, Penny helps parents stop trying to fix behavior and start understanding what it’s communicating. Her work replaces outdated discipline models with neuroscience-based strategies rooted in connection, regulation, and nervous system awareness, giving parents a clear way to respond in real-life moments.
She is the award-winning author of Boy Without Instructions and three other ADHD books, and the host of the Beautifully Complex Podcast with more than 5 million downloads. Her work has been featured in ADDitude Magazine, Autism Parenting Magazine, and CHADD’s Attention Magazine.
At the heart of Penny’s work is one powerful belief: Behavior isn’t the problem, it’s the signal.
