About Me
About Me
Dusti Zang
With over a decade of experience working across schools, clinics, private homes, and community programs, I specialize in creating learning environments where children and families thrive. My background includes a degree in Psychology with master’s-level coursework in Special Education, and my career has spanned roles as an educator, mentor, curriculum designer, and consultant.
I’ve worked extensively with trauma-impacted, neurodivergent, and marginalized communities, blending academic instruction with tools for emotional regulation, executive function, and identity development. My approach is both trauma-informed and neuroaffirming, grounded in the latest research while staying deeply attuned to the unique needs and strengths of each child and family.
As a certified breathwork facilitator and faith-driven leader, I integrate somatic healing, nervous system regulation, and Christ-centered guidance into my work—helping families move from reactivity to connection. I have led programs for children ages 3–18, developed parent education and professional training, and partnered with leaders, educators, and high-influence parents to transform how they live, learn, and lead.
At the heart of my work is the belief that transformation in children begins with empowered, supported parents. By focusing on both skill-building and family culture, I help create homes where learning is joyful, relationships are strong, and every member feels safe, seen, and valued.
What I Do:
I walk alongside leaders, educators, and culture-shapers who have achieved success yet crave something deeper than performance. Spirit-led and rooted in God’s truth, my work restores connection, harmony, and vision in the way we lead, learn, and live. Through thought leadership, private consulting, and immersive experiences, I guide people in reshaping culture, reclaiming rhythms of grace, and raising environments where both children and adults thrive in clarity and confidence.
Mission Statement
The Neurodiverse Parent exists to help leaders, educators, caregivers, and families break free from harmful systems and reimagine what it means to lead, learn, and live with wholeness.
I have always been drawn to the ones the world misunderstands.
To the kids labeled "too loud," "too sensitive," "too much."
To the families carrying the invisible weight.
To the people written off by systems that were never built for them in the first place.
This was never just about a career path for me.
It is a calling I can't ignore without losing myself.
I have stepped into many roles over the last 15 years - educator, mentor, consultant, advisor. Always in the same world. Always with those in the margins.
Here is what I have come to know -
The change we long to see in children doesn’t start with them.
It starts with US.
When we as adults return to our own groundedness in our nervous system, our story, our sense of safety - then everything else shifts. Hearts open, bodies soften, cultures heal.
God has always been close to me.
Even before I could live it, I could feel it. Now, I don’t just believe it.
I walk with Him, I create with Him, and I lead from that place.
This work isn’t clinical and it isn’t performative.
It is sacred.
And, where the real transformation begins.
