This is not Shepard, but his story is real to his parents. He’s 9.
When his parents first came in, their biggest hope was simple:
➡️ Could he find a little more calm?
➡️ Could he handle the “unfair moments” without everything turning into a meltdown?
It’s only been one month into his tailored 5-month care plan… and here’s what they’re already seeing:
• Less complaining about the “small stuff.”
• More ability to keep his body calm.
• Emotional regulation starting to show up in real time.
• A little more peace at home.
This is why we love what we do.
Because when kids finally feel regulated, parents finally get to see who their child really is—without the overwhelm leading the way.
And this? This is only the beginning.
