- Built by a parent who’s been there

Sound familiar?
You’ve tried everything. None of it was built for your kid.
- The 300-page book you never finished
- Sticker charts that lasted a week
- Advice written for a different kid
- Forums at 3am
- Another waitlist
It’s not that you’re not trying hard enough. It’s that one-size-fits-all doesn’t fit a brain that works differently. Untangle starts with your child and works backwards from there.
How it works
Small steps. Big changes.
01
Understand
Map your child’s brain in 10 minutes
The OWLS profile looks at 11 areas of executive function: planning, memory, starting tasks, emotional control and more. You get strengths and focus areas, not a label.
02
Learn
Lessons matched to your kid, not everyone’s
Three-minute lessons picked for your child’s profile. Read one while the kettle boils.
03
Practice
One small experiment at a time
Pick one habit. Set up the support. Check in daily in under a minute and watch your help fade as your child takes over.
04
Connect
Parents who get it, wherever you are
A private community of parents raising kids like yours. Same school meetings, same forms, same 3am thoughts. Share wins, ask anything.
The Independence Scaffold
Help that fades — so they can grow.
Every Untangle habit starts with you right beside them, then steps back on purpose. Tap through a real two weeks.
Day 1
You walk Fred through every step of packing his bag.
Day 4
One reminder — “Bag check?” — and he does the rest.
Day 9
You’re in the room, sipping coffee. Ready, but not needed.
Day 14
He packs it before you’ve even asked. That’s the habit, built.
Parent stories
Little wins, out loud.
Why we built Untangle
Made by a parent who’s been there.
I knew something was different by the time my son was three. It took two more years for anyone to listen, then years of specialists, trial and error, and money we didn’t really have. The turning point was when we stopped trying to make his brain work like everyone else’s and started building around how it actually works. He’s a teenager now, and thriving. Untangle is what I wish we’d had.
