Erin Porter, Guided Autism Program

If behaviour charts, rewards, and consequences worked… you wouldn’t still be stuck.

Here’s what no one tells parents of autistic kids: they don’t need more strategies. They need regulation. Without it, skills like sleeping, eating, toileting and self-care cannot develop.

Self-regulation isn’t just about calming down. It’s the foundation for sleeping, eating, toileting, behaviour, and independence.

Without it, the brain can’t access learning or cooperation.

I have been invited to this Interenational Conference to show parents why progress stalls, or why they feel like nothing’s ever really worked—and what must come first before behaviour or independence is possible.

My in-person session at ICAN 2026, on World Autism Awareness Day, Niagara Falls Convention Centre, Ontario, Canada, will permanently change how you understand your child.

👀 Once you see it, you can’t unsee it—and you’ll wish you’d learned it sooner.

📣 📣 WOW! 6,000 MEMBERS! 📣 📣

I continue to be amazed by the growth of this beautiful community.

Six thousand families coming together to support, learn, and grow alongside each other on this autism journey… that’s worth celebrating! 🎉

When I started this group, I had one simple mission: to help thousands of families living with autism in whatever way THEY need.

No one-size-fits-all approaches here! Some days that means sharing free resources, dropping new weekly videos, providing support calls, or simply being a space where parents can feel truly understood.

The beauty of this community is that support comes in many forms. For many, the free resources, support calls, and loving community are exactly what you need right now.

For others who are ready to go deeper, solve specific challenges, and create transformative change in your family's autism journey, my coaching programs are available whenever you're ready.

That's the thing I'm most proud of—meeting you exactly where you are. Whether you're just gathering information, implementing strategies from our free workshops, or ready for more personalized support through coaching, I'm here.

If you're feeling called to take that next step and want more tailored guidance, all you need to do is raise your hand and ask. I'm here when you're ready.

Thank you for being part of this incredible milestone. Here's to 6,000 families strong—and to supporting thousands more in exactly the way each of you needs! ❤️
