Do you want a close and easy connection
with your child?

It's possible!

Introducing ...

This Is Your Invitation To Join:

The 4-Week Navigating Motivation Online Program

Parenting is not easy. And parenting a child with autism has challenges that other parents don't have to deal with. Life can feel like a mess! Maybe you've found yourself:

Repeating yourself over and over
Dealing with destructive and disruptive behaviors
Always doing things for your child because it’s quicker and easier
Wondering if their (and your) lives will always be like this
Wishing they could do more fun things with their child

Often times, these types of issues only get worse over time - unless you do something about them.

Sometimes parenting can feel so empty - It can feel like your child doesn't want anything from you unless it's food or a tablet/phone.

Or you might find yourself wondering if your child could ever learn things without having to be taught everything step-by-step.

Maybe they are doing okay but you worry about their confidence.

And probably the worse thing - you keep having to say "first do this, then you can do that." You say this day after day after day. It's exhausting. It's frustrating. It's not a good future.

If This Feels Like You...

Navigating Motivation Is For You

Because there is a breakthrough type of approach that is changing the way families are teaching their children.

The educational world takes time to implement new teaching strategies. Sometimes it takes decades to change the way things are taught.

Why should your child go to school or therapy only to be miserable and not really learn anything?

There are evidence based educational approaches that can address what really matters so your child can improve their social skills, learning, and connection.

And I'm excited to take you through it step-by-step.

What parents are saying about
Navigating Motivation:

"I always knew that my son wanted to do things with me but it was so difficult.
Before this class I dreaded the weekends because I would always battle with my son to go do something.

Now we have fun on the weekends. And it's so easy!!"

-Cindi S,
mother to a 11-year-old
with autism

"My daughter actually asks to go swimming with me now.
I've always wanted to take her to the pool and see her laugh and smile, thankfully now I can!

There is such a difference in her now that I can actually take all 4 kids and we all have fun while I give my wife a needed break."

Saul & Tina,
parents to a 13-year-old
with autism

"I worried about my son maintaining his confidence in school just about non-stop before working with Dr. Lyons.
I love seeing how confident my son is now.
I am starting to see who he really is.

The conversations we have now...amazing!
There is so much peace in the house too.
I am getting used to this and loving it."

mother to an 8-year-old

Why do you say AWEtism?

Imagine the worse headache you’ve ever had…
but yet people keep talking to you.

Now imagine the worse stomachache you’ve ever had.

Couple all that with either diarrhea or constipation or both.

You’re in so much pain and discomfort that you can’t even sleep to feel better.

That would be a horrible day, right?

But for some with autism, this is their life!

Pain like this every day…
and maybe this is your child…
But yet they try their best…
you can see their determination…
their desire to learn…
their desire to be part of the family…
they have so much potential…
they try so hard.

They do so much even when they feel terrible.

They don’t know when or if the pain will end but yet they do their best and that is why I say AWEtism.

I am in complete AWE at the capabilities and determination even when their body is failing them in so many ways.

I don’t say autism, I see AWEtism.

In Navigating Motivation,
you will quickly and easily learn:

Week #1 - Finding Their Interests

This week is all about finding your child’s interests. What do they like? What are they good at? What will they want to do in the future?

All important questions for now and their future so why is it such a hard question to answer?

Lack of motivation will prevent you from finding your child’s passion. Actually, lack of motivation can also prevent THEM from finding their own passion.

Week #1 - Finding Their Interests

Week #2 - Finding Balance

If a person constantly experiences failure or difficulty, it’s logical that they learn to “give up” without really trying.

However, if someone is bored with easy work but yet doesn't have the motor control to display competency of higher level tasks bad behaviors can occur.

It’s important that there be a balance so that the child experiences success. Seems obvious, right?

Week #2 - Finding Balance

Week 3 - Becoming a Lifelong Learner

Motivated, engaged, and responsive!!

We all want that for our children, right?!?

This week you will learn how to inspire your child to have fierce determination to want to do things for themselves so that you can stop worrying about how they will provide for themselves in the future. This way you can stand back and have fun watching them grow!

Week 3 - Becoming a Lifelong Learner

Week 4 - Reinforcing Attempts

When a child learns to be motivated only by external factors there comes a point in their life where the bribes aren’t big enough therefore they stop being motivated.

Also, children who only get pleasure from doing something “right” typically struggle as they get older. They don’t get hobbies because their motivation has only been external. In life, hobbies are for pleasure.

This week's lesson is about how you can get your child to take pride in what they do so that you stop feeling like you have to motivate them all the time. You can start thinking about getting back to YOUR hobbies and interests before you put everything on hold for your child.

Frequently Asked Questions

You also receive immediate access to recordings of 60-minute group calls that go with each video lesson so that you will also learn from hearing what other parents have done.

This program is right for those parents who feel like they've hit a brick wall but yet are determined to keep trying until they find what works for their child. Maybe you've been told things by experts that just didn't even make sense but you tried it anyway because you feel like you should at least try before saying something doesn't work.
This program is right for those parents who see their child's potential and say to themselves "If only they were motivated..." or "If only they believed in themselves more". If that's you, then this program is right for you.

No. But there are over 4-hours of group Q&A calls that Dr. Lyons did earlier this year.The questions came from actual users of the course and Dr. Lyons went into great detail covering almost every question from different angles.

No. I've been using this material for many years with my private 1-on-1 clients and I'm confident that this material works. Age or function level of your child doesn't matter. What matters most is the determination of the parent to try something new.
I want people who are committed to using the material to join this program and that is why I give all the material up front.
I want people who are committed in using the program to invest in the program.

Yes. The material I teach is relevant to helping your child realize their full potential regardless on their learning environment (homeschooling, remote learning, or in-person schooling.)
Parents also find this program helpful in being able to ask teachers and therapists how their child is doing. Maybe a teacher tells you that your child "had a great day" but you're wondering what that really means? By learning the techniques taught in this program you will be able to ask better questions to those who interact with your child so that you feel more confident in asking for more specific information about your child's progress (or lack of progress).

Who needs their to-do-list longer? No one.
Even though you want your child to do well in school and life, it's understandable to feel like you don't have the space to learn or do anything more. It might even seem that if you add one more thing to your schedule, you might break.
But that's the beauty of this program. It teaches you the quality of doing less but yet seeing your child grow more. You are a very loving and dedicated parent and you are strong to keep searching for an answer for your child. Using the material in this program will actually give you more time in your day.
This program is not about doing more, it's about doing less but with more attention, focus and guidance so that you see your child grow into their full potential.
