Practical guides and calming tools for parents raising children with autism and other special needs — created by a mom and autism-certified advocate who has lived every step of it.
"However you found your way here — a new diagnosis, a hard IEP meeting, a long week — you don't have to figure it out by yourself."
Everything here comes from real experience navigating diagnosis, therapy, and the school system — made simpler for the parents coming up behind.
Your step-by-step guide to IEPs, 504 plans, and behavior plans. What each section means, the questions to ask, and what to look for — so you walk into that meeting prepared instead of overwhelmed.
A calm-down tool for the hard moments. When your child needs to reset, coloring gives them a quiet anchor — a gentle way to self-regulate and communicate when words are hard.
A caregiver's planner for everything on your plate: appointments, IEP meetings, therapy sessions, and the questions you don't want to forget to ask the doctor. One place to keep it all.
More resources — including a medical journal — are on the way.
Richelle is a mom of two sons on the autism spectrum, an autism-certified advocate, and is currently working toward her master's in autism. For years she's helped families — her own and others' — find their footing through diagnosis, therapy, and the school system.
Beautiful Pieces of Me grew straight out of that experience: the guides, tools, and reassurance she wished someone had handed her early on. So no parent has to feel like they're navigating it in the dark.
Because as much as it can feel like it — you are not alone in this.
"Richelle walked me through exactly where to start with getting my kids diagnosed and into speech therapy. She pointed me to the right resources and cut my time down so much. So helpful."
— A. Willis
"She gave me every website and every step I needed. I signed up and had appointments booked within the week. She even sits in on our Zoom meetings to advocate for my kids."
— J. Davis
