Tilt Parenting

TRANSFORMING THE LIVES OF PARENTS RAISING DIFFERENTLY WIRED™ CHILDREN

What is Tilt Parenting?

More than 20 percent of today’s children are in some way neurodivergent, or what Tilt founder Debbie Reber calls, “differently wired.” Tilt Parenting works to change the way neurodifferences in children — ADHD, learning disabilities, autism, giftedness, processing challenges, twice-exceptionality, and more — are perceived and experienced so these exceptional children, and the parents raising them, can thrive in their schools, their families, and in their lives.

About Tilt Parenting’s Founder & CEO

DEBBIE REBER

Debbie is a pioneering advocate for neurodivergent children and their families, launching Tilt Parenting in 2016 at a time when the prevailing conversation around neurodevelopmental differences was rooted in deficits and disorder. Well before “neurodivergent” entered mainstream language, Debbie challenged the status quo, championing a strengths-based model that celebrates the inherent potential of differently wired kids. Her work has been instrumental in reframing societal perceptions, moving from a focus on “fixing” outliers to empowering families and creating inclusive, supportive systems for these exceptional children. Debbie’s groundbreaking book, Differently Wired: A Parent’s Guide to Raising an Atypical Child with Confidence and Hope, is widely recommended by therapists, educators, and OTs and has been endorsed by top researchers in the field of neurodevelopmental disabilities. With more than 7 million downloads, the Tilt Parenting Podcast features leading experts and thought leaders in parenting, education, and child development.

Debbie is a certified life coach and Positive Discipline trainer, has been quoted in publications like The Washington Post and The New York Times, has written for Psychology Today and ADDitude Magazine, and is a regularly featured parenting expert on NewsNation’s Morning in America show. She co-created the Parenting in Place Masterclass series, hosting evidence-based virtual education events with leaders in clinical psychology, education, and neuroscience. She is also a sought-after speaker, recently featured at the prestigious Learning & the Brain Conference hosted by Harvard and MIT. A two-time TEDx speaker, Debbie’s talk Why the Future Will Be Differently Wired has resonated with audiences worldwide. Along with her small team of parent coaches and educators at Tilt, Debbie offers virtual guidance, strategies, and support to a global community of parents raising neurodivergent children.
