01
Rooted Foundations
The core ideas behind everything else. What behavior is, why it happens, and how we choose to respond when it shows up.
Rooted Pathways
The Academy
An evidence-based, ABA-informed learning library for parents, caregivers, educators, behavior technicians, RBTs, student analysts, and the community professionals who walk alongside neurodivergent children every day.
Built on five guiding ideas: understanding comes before teaching, teaching comes before expecting, the quality of our answers depends on the quality of the information we collect, behavior is an opportunity to teach — not simply a problem to solve, and every family deserves access to real information in plain language.
The Academy opens in a separate window. First lesson of every pathway is free.
What it is
A growing library of short, honest, classroom-tested lessons.
Self-paced pathways
Bite-sized lessons (10–20 minutes each) grouped into focused pathways. Watch on your phone during nap time, on a laptop after the kids are asleep, or on a break between sessions.
Free first lessons
Every pathway opens with a free lesson. No card, no commitment — just enough to know if it fits before you join.
Member library
One membership unlocks every pathway, downloadable worksheets, and new lessons as they're added.
Progress tracking
The Academy remembers where you left off, marks completed lessons, and saves your worksheets in one place.
Monthly live class
Members get a live monthly class with Toni — Q&A, deep dives, and case examples. Replays available.
For everyone in the room
Designed for parents, caregivers, teachers, BTs, RBTs, student analysts, and eventually full BCBA-prep content.
Available now
Five complete pathways. Thirty lessons.
More pathways added throughout 2026 and 2027.
02
Everyday Pathways
The routines families actually live in — mornings, mealtimes, transitions, bedtime, and the moments between. Small shifts, real change.
03
Understanding Autism
What autism actually is, what it isn't, and how to support the autistic child in front of you — written with respect, plain language, and zero pathology.
04
Understanding ADHD
Executive function, working memory, time blindness, emotion regulation — what's happening underneath the behavior and what helps.
05
Behavior Detective
How to slow down, gather better information, and make sense of behavior before deciding what to do about it. ABCs, function, and curiosity over correction.

Coming next
40-Hour RBT Training (2027 standards), Advanced ABA topics, BCBA student resources, and Toni's My Autism Story content.

Behavior is an opportunity to teach — not simply a problem to solve.
Who it's for
If any of these sound like you, you'll find a seat.
- Parents and caregivers who want real, evidence-based information — not Pinterest hacks.
- Teachers and school staff looking for practical, classroom-ready strategies.
- Behavior technicians and RBTs who want to deepen their understanding of the why behind the work.
- Student analysts and BCBA candidates studying for certification.
- Community professionals — pediatricians, dentists, first responders — who want to support neurodivergent families well.
- Neurodivergent adults who want language for their own lived experience.

The first lesson of every pathway is free.
The Academy lives at its own address so it can do what a learning platform needs to do — secure logins, course progress, downloads, and a private member library. It opens in a new tab.
