Parent training from a Board Certified Behavior Analyst
Down to your last nerve?
Tag in a pro.
You probably already know the plays: stay consistent, skip the bribes, catch them being good. The hard part is running them at 7:45 on a school morning. A trainer helps you get the reps in. Two weeks, one behavior, and a behavior analyst in your corner the whole way.
Free intake screening through Nov 14. Two minutes, no card. Normally $15. Every family that screens as a fit by then is entered to win 1 of 2 free Resets. Rules. Now enrolling in 9 states. See if yours is one →

Feral Parenting
Which creature lives at your house?
Every episode is a pattern behavior analysts see all day. The behavior looks wild. The reason behind it is usually pretty ordinary, and once you know the reason, you know which play to run.
You say "shoes." His spine turns to jelly.
What's going on: escape
Playing dead delays the thing he'd rather skip. Every minute the flop buys is a minute it worked, so the flop comes back tomorrow.
The play
A heads-up before the ask, a smaller first step, and a reason to get moving that beats stalling.
Get the free Leaving the House plan →At 5:00 he roars at the fridge for the top shelf.
What's going on: part hunger, part access
Two things at once. He's truly hungry, and roaring has a track record of getting the good snack. Fix only one and the roar stays.
The play
Get ahead of the hunger on a schedule, then teach an ask that works better than the roar does.
Get a free screening →He grabs the sock. You chase. Everyone's running.
What's going on: you made it a game
To you it's a problem. To him it's the best ten minutes of his day, and you're the one who keeps showing up to play.
The play
Stop being the other team, and give him a replacement behavior: a better way to start the game with you.
Get a free screening →Sticker charts. The singing potty. Still two inches from the target.
What's going on: toilet training
Potty training stalls when the plan depends on the prize. Timing, routine, and what happens right after matter more than the sticker.
The play
A schedule built around your kid's actual day, and a clear answer for hits and for misses.
Get a free screening →Fifteen minutes of hissing at the pantry door. Then you cave.
What's going on: caving on a delay
Hold out for fifteen minutes and then give in, and you've taught him that sixteen is the number. Sometimes-yes is stronger than always-yes.
The play
Decide the answer before the raid starts, say it once, and make the rule the same on night one and night ten.
Get a free screening →Educational parody and general information. Your kid's reasons may be different, which is what the screening and the Reset are for.
The 2-week Reset
Pick one fight. Get a game plan and a trainer in your corner.
Bedtime. Mornings. Meltdowns. Screens. Sibling wars. Homework. Potty training. One target at a time, because that's what actually works.

A good fit if
- Your child is 2 to 12
- One behavior is running the household
- You've read the books, and it's still happening
- You want a plan you can measure, not more advice
Not the right fit if
- Someone is getting hurt, or your child is hurting themselves
- There are concerns about eating or feeding
- You or your child need mental health treatment
Our intake screens for these. If we're not the right fit, we'll point you to who is.

I've spent my career as a Board Certified Behavior Analyst and built a multi-state ABA company from the ground up. I've seen the same thing over and over: parents are the most powerful part of any plan, and the least supported. Last Nerve is the support I wish every family could get, without a waitlist, a diagnosis, or an insurance fight.
Founding families
Start with a free intake screening.
I'm Kimberly, a Board Certified Behavior Analyst. Before either of us commits to two weeks, I review your screening myself. It takes about two minutes and it's free through Nov 14 (normally $15). No card needed.
If your family is a fit, we move straight into scheduling. Every family that screens as a fit by Nov 14 is entered in a drawing for 1 of 2 free Resets (rules). The founding Reset is otherwise $249, in two installments of $124.50. If we're not a fit, I'll send the resources and referrals I think will actually help.
Not ready for that? Take the free Leaving the House plan. One page, built for the fridge.
FAQ
What does it cost?
The intake screening is free through Nov 14 (normally $15), and I review each one personally. Families that screen as a fit by then are entered in a drawing for 1 of 2 free Resets. The founding Reset is otherwise $249 total, paid in two installments of $124.50.
What's the free plan?
A one-page game plan for getting out the door, written by a BCBA. It's general parent education, so it won't be tailored to your kid the way a Reset plan is. Plenty of families find it's enough to get started.
What if we're not a fit?
You'll hear that from me directly, with referrals to people who are a better match: behavior analysts, speech-language pathologists, psychologists, and others.
Are you a provider?
If you're a BCBA, SLP, psychologist, OT, or pediatric provider and want to be listed as a referral resource for families we can't serve, add yourself here. It takes two minutes, and there are no fees or referral payments in either direction.
