You know that moment when you're sitting in a meeting, and someone suggests yet another compliance-based strategy that makes your stomach drop?
Or when you're explaining to a colleague why you believe in following the child's lead, only to see that familiar look of confusion — or worse, judgment?
It’s the worst feeling, isn’t it? When you know in your gut you’re doing what’s right — but it feels like no one else sees it that way.
You got into this field because you wanted to make a real difference.
But somewhere between the paperwork, the productivity demands, and the isolation of being "the only one who thinks this way," that passion started feeling... heavy.
What if you never had to justify your child-led values again — because everyone around you gets it?
That’s what you’ll find inside The Child-Led Collective — a place where your values don’t just make sense, they shape real change.

Here's The Truth:
Everyday you're caught between two worlds...
The World You Believe In
- Where your autistic students’ autonomy is honored.
- Where gestures, scripts, AAC, and silence all count as communication.
- Where safety and trust come before data collection and compliance.
And The System You're Working In
- Where productivity matters more than connection.
- Where you’re told to “fix behaviors” instead of understand them.
- Where you’re expected to follow outdated strategies, even when they don’t fit your students.
This disconnect is exhausting.
Maybe you find yourself:
- Feeling isolated when colleagues don't understand your child-led approach
- Burning out from trying to navigate compliance-heavy systems while staying true to your beliefs
- Questioning whether you're "doing enough" because your methods don't fit traditional frameworks
But inside The Child-Led Collective, you finally get to exhale — because everything you believe in is not only welcome here, it’s the foundation of how we work.

Here's What Our Members Are Saying:
"I can’t imagine my job without Nicole’s Child-Led SLP community! I use her custom child-led GPT coach and aligned rubric framework daily.
The live calls always leave me feeling reenergized and supported by people who truly “get it.” Nicole quickly and personally responds to messages on the membership hub and through email which is such a treat. I have joined other professional programs where other team members will respond, but I really have direct contact with the membership creator.
Nicole taught me about personal and professional razors, and I have mine written above my computer as a daily reminder of who I am personally and professionally. Nicole is always welcoming and down to earth she truly does not mind if I show up to live calls after work sitting on the couch in my pajamas and I love a community like that!"
- Ali R., Speech-Language Pathologist
The Child-Led Collective is easily the best professional community I’ve ever joined. Before becoming a member, I often felt stuck trying to make my sessions both neurodiversity-affirming and measurable. Working in the schools, I thought that meant I had to stick to a traditional therapy model.
Joining the Collective completely changed that. Through conversations with Nicole and other like-minded professionals, I learned that it’s absolutely possible to meet my students where they are and collect strong, meaningful data. My confidence has grown so much, and the way I plan and run my sessions has completely transformed.
Now, my sessions are fun, engaging, and I’m seeing real progress. My students are more motivated, behaviors have decreased, and therapy just feels good again. Having Nicole as a resource is truly invaluable, and I’m so grateful to be part of a community that’s creating positive change and redefining what neurodiversity-affirming speech therapy can look like.

When everything online says you need to do more— we’re here to remind you that you already have what it takes.
You don’t need another program buried in your Google drive. You need steady guidance, space to reflect, and a community that helps you actually use what you know.
In The Child-Led Collective, you’ll trade overwhelm for clarity, isolation for support, and self-doubt for confidence that lasts.
You're In The Right Place
You'll feel right at home if...
- You’ve nodded along in every child-led training… then found yourself freezing up when it’s time to actually do it on Monday morning.
- You’ve been the only one in the meeting questioning sticker charts and “behaviors”—and it’s exhausting being the only voice advocating for neuro-affirming change.
- You’ve spent hours trying to write goals that capture how your autistic students truly communicate… and felt frustrated that “80% accuracy” doesn’t even come close.
- You’ve been creating your own visuals, session plans, or parent handouts because nothing out there seems to match your values—or your students’ needs.
- You’ve caught yourself wondering, “Am I doing this right?”—even though deep down, you know the traditional way isn’t right for your autistic students.
We Can't Wait To Welcome You!
You're in the right place if...
- You’ve taken every child-led training… but still freeze when it’s time to put it into practice.
- You’re the only one questioning sticker charts and “behaviors”—and it’s exhausting being the lone voice for change.
- You’ve tried to write goals that reflect how your autistic students really communicate… but “80% accuracy” doesn’t even come close.
- You’re making your own materials because nothing out there matches your values—or your students’ needs.
- You keep wondering, “Am I doing this right?”—even though you know the traditional way isn’t right either.
Maybe you're thinking...
✗ I'm already so busy—how do I know I can make time for this?
I get it — the last thing you need is one more thing on your plate.
That’s why the Collective is designed to fit into your life, not complicate it.
You can pop into the Voxer chat for support between sessions, listen to the private podcast on your commute, and use our ready-to-go resources instead of creating everything from scratch.
Members actually save hours each week because they’re no longer doing this work alone.
✗ What if my workplace doesn't support child-led approaches?
You’re not alone — that’s one of the most common challenges our members face.
You can’t change your entire system overnight, but you can change how you show up within it.
The Collective gives you practical language for advocating with administrators, tools that meet compliance requirements and honor your values, and strategies for building bridges with colleagues who don’t yet understand child-led practice.
You don’t have to create change alone — you’ll have a community walking with you every step of the way.
✗ I'm new to child-led practice. Will I be behind other members?
Not at all — being new often means you’re more open and ready to learn.
The Collective supports professionals at every stage, from those just discovering child-led approaches to seasoned practitioners refining their craft.
Your fresh perspective adds value here, and our step-by-step resources and workshops ensure you’ll build confidence without ever feeling overwhelmed.
✗ "Is this just another online course?"
I get why you’d wonder — so many programs sound inspiring but leave you with more ideas than action.
The Collective is different. It’s not a course you finish; it’s a community you grow within.
Every resource, discussion, and workshop is grounded in real therapy settings and built for immediate use — with practical tools, real case discussions, and ongoing mentorship that help you grow beyond the lesson.
This isn’t about consuming more information — it’s about living your child-led values with confidence, clarity, and community support.
We know there’s a lot of noise out there — courses, programs, and endless opinions. The Child-Led Collective cuts through all of it.

Hi, I'm Nicole!
I'm a speech-language pathologist, clinic owner, and founder of The Child-Led SLP.
I ended up here because I was tired of feeling like the only one questioning the old way of doing therapy. The data charts, the 80% accuracy goals, the pressure to keep kids “on task” — it all started to feel wrong when I saw how much connection was being lost in the process.
So I rebuilt everything.
I stopped chasing compliance and started building trust. I redefined progress to include joy, autonomy, and authentic communication. And when I saw how much more meaningful my sessions became, I knew I couldn’t keep it to myself.
That’s why I created The Child-Led Collective — a space for professionals who want to do this work differently but don’t want to do it alone.
Inside, you’ll find support, clarity, and community — so you can confidently bring your child-led values to life, without the overwhelm or isolation that often comes with going against the grain.
Because when we lead with connection, everyone wins — especially our autistic students.
