Introduction of The
CALM Compass
Your Autism Parenting Journey
The CALM Compass is a practical parenting tool that has four directions for you to choose (CONNECT, ARTICULATE, LIFT and MOVE). Each of these directions points you towards specific skills and strategies you will use in everyday situations. For instance, how to respond to a meltdown; how to prepare and plan for problems; or how to help mediate challenging transitions.
CONNECT
ARTICULATE
LIFT
MOVE
Learn from Mitch Leppicello, LICSW
Mitch is a Certified Autism Specialist and Clinical Social Worker with 30+ years of experience providing mental health services for children, adolescents, and adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). He helps parents and caregivers navigate the countless challenges associated with parenting individuals of all ages with ASD and is the creator of The CALM Compass.
My colleague and I have been working with a family for some time with a complex child with ASD/ADHD. The parents are enrolled in (the) CALM COMPASS program and at our last visit, one parent exuded amazing regulation which impacted and improved her child’s behavior. Honestly, it was magic. The air had changed during our med check visit.
I am writing to say, “holy smokes” great job as your program has led to transformative change.

The goal of The CALM Compass is to put positive and proactive parenting strategies in the hands of people who need them the most: parents and caregivers of children with Autism.
I’ve distilled 30 years of experience working with people with autism and their parents to create these parenting strategies and easy-to-use tools in a convenient online learning program.
Communicate Clearly Together
- Respond effectively when your child is having a meltdown

- Mediate challenging transitions without conflict
- Avoid conflict and power struggles
- Help your child learn and grow
- Regulate your child’s (and your own) emotions in times of stress and challenging situations
- Clarify your words and communicate in positive ways

Many years ago, when my now 20 years old son was in middle school, we were referred to you. Your approach to providing guidance to not just the child, but also the parents, helped both of us tremendously. You really inspired me and taught me valuable skills I still apply today.
Both of us are doing extremely well. After 7 years back in college, I graduate in December with a degree in Social Work. My son is now 20 and continues to thrive on being able to fix things. He’s always been extremely smart. He works at Jiffy Lube now and enjoys it. He is planning to marry a girl who is also on the autism spectrum. They’re an amazing awesome fit for each other. They understand each other so well.
You truly made a difference in our lives and our success and I just wanted to take a moment and say thank you.
