You’re in the right place if…
You love your child deeply, but often feel unsure how to help them
You’re frustrated by advice that doesn’t seem to fit your child
You want to understand your child, not just manage behaviors
You’re trying to parent faithfully, not perfectly
You need both practical help and biblical encouragement
You're not alone and you don’t have to figure this out by yourself.
You want to raise a child who knows and loves Christ. Yet many of your days are filled with therapy appointments, school meetings, behavioral challenges, exhaustion, and difficult decisions. Parenting a neurodivergent child often leaves you asking questions you never expected to face.
As you search for answers, you may find yourself caught between two worlds. Many autism and ADHD resources offer helpful practical advice but leave God out of the conversation. At the same time, Christian parenting advice often doesn't fully account for how your child's brain was designed by God to develop and function.
Neurodivergence is not a spiritual problem to fix or a diagnosis to cure. Your child is an image-bearer, wonderfully made by God. Understanding how neurodivergent individuals think, learn, process, and respond doesn't compete with faith. It helps you love, disciple, and shepherd them with greater wisdom.
That is the heart of The Understanding Way.
Biblical encouragement for parents raising neurodivergent children.
Clear, practical explanations of autism, ADHD, and learning differences.
Parenting and discipline rooted in both Scripture and an understanding of how the brain works.
Guidance for navigating therapy, school, church, and everyday family life.
Simple, realistic tools you can begin using today.
Parenting faithfully isn't about having all the answers. It's about growing in understanding, responding with wisdom, and trusting God with what only He can do.
Whether you're newly navigating a diagnosis or have been on this journey for years, you're welcome here. My prayer is that you'll leave feeling encouraged, equipped, and reminded that God has not overlooked your family.

“With Kimberly Skaggs, what you see is what you get. What you see in her is a steady yet growing love for God. What you get from her, what you receive by observing how she lives and by listening to what she says, is an encouragement to persevere in loving and trusting the Lord, especially when life is hard, and answers are slow in coming. Kimberly lives knowing that there is only one source of steadfast love, of new morning mercies, and of great faithfulness, and she rests and relies on Him.”
– Rev. Lee Veazey
I'm a parent of four neurodivergent children, so I know how overwhelming and confusing this journey can feel. You don’t have to figure this out alone.
