What is Peopling?
We provide coherent “surround sound” support for neurodivergent children, teens, and young adults that resonates across the ecosystems of their lives.
Learning & coaching communities
for parents, educators, and mental health providers
Expert insights meet everyday action through interactive micro-courses, guided reflection, and group coaching - building a more coherent, unified system of support for neurodivergent young people.
We turn daily challenges into opportunities for understanding and growth.
How Peopling Helps You Grow
Our Offering
Supporting young people, especially those that are neurodivergent, can feel complex and isolating.
There’s no single book, training, or set of influencer tips that prepares you for the real moments that show up day to day.
Peopling offers practical, flexible ways to learn, reflect, and connect so support grows over time, not all at once.
That’s why Peopling is built on three simple pillars:
Learn via Micro-Courses
Short, expert-led courses designed for real life.
Each one focuses on a specific theme or challenge, offering clear ideas you can return to without jargon or overload.
Reflect Through Guides &
Thoughtful guides, prompts, and grab-and-go resources you can use on your own.
These tools help you pause, notice patterns, and make sense of what you’re experiencing at your own pace.
Connect With Community Options
Small, online or in-person facilitated groups where learning becomes shared and applied.
Cohorts and group coaching offer space to talk things through, hear other perspectives, and practice new ways of showing up with support.
Some people start with a course. Others begin with a guide or a group.
Peopling is designed so these pieces can stand alone or work together depending on what you need right now.

“I was really blown away by the material. The content is exceptional. I especially appreciated the empathy building exercises and the scripts for parents. I really liked the simplicity of the executive functioning paradigm with scaffolding. I'm used to seeing things that are much more complicated and it gets overwhelming.”

“I would very much like to share my sincere support, thanks and gratitude for the Peopling.me series of presentations by the incredible Mike Haykin. This series will be foundational for professionals in the field of academic support and for the parents of special needs students. Mike Haykin is offering a very special gift to all of us with this program.”

“This course serves as an incredibly useful and practical guide for both parents and teachers who strive to better understand the experience and needs of a neurodivergent child and seek proven techniques for supporting emotional and academic development.”
Jennifer Morris
Elementary Principal, Greater Los Angeles Area / Thought Leader
“Supporting neurodivergent students within traditional school systems is complex and the need for understanding has never been greater. When educators, counselors, and parents truly understand how neurodivergent learners experience the world, everything changes. Peopling keeps it real, translating research into practice and helping adults step inside the learner’s experience. His work challenges us to examine our mindsets, beliefs, and strategies so support becomes intentional, human-centered, and transformative. When understanding deepens, relationships build and impact follows.”
Community at Peopling
Different ways of gathering.
Shared purpose.
Communities are structured spaces where people engage with shared ideas, reflect together, and find connection along the way.
How community shows up depends on how you’re supporting young people as a parent, educator, or therapist.
For Parents & Family Caregivers
Guided Cohort Communities
Our parent cohorts bring together a small group of parents for a three-month experience, meeting once a month online alongside curated micro-course content.
Each cohort is designed to:
- build connection with other parents who understand
- create space to reflect on real, day-to-day challenges
- help you apply what you’re learning, not just consume it
- offer steadiness, perspective, and shared language over time
This isn’t about fixing your child. It’s about strengthening you, your relationships, and the environment around your family.
For Educators & Mental Health Providers
Collaborative Learning Options
While we don’t currently run standing cohorts for educators or mental health providers, Peopling materials are designed to be used together—in schools, districts, practices, and professional learning communities.
Educators and providers engage with Peopling through:
- shared study of micro-courses and guides
- facilitated discussions or PD sessions
- reflective conversations within existing teams or communities of practice
These options support deeper alignment across roles—without adding another program to your plate.
