When Needs Overlap: Navigating Multiple Challenges Without Losing Support

with Gabriele Nicolet, MA, CCC-SLP- Speech Therapist & Parent Coach

From Fight-Flight-Freeze to Calm: a guide for parents and teachers

Gabriele Nicolet, MA, CCC-SLP is a speech-language pathologist, parenting coach, and host of the Complicated Kids podcast. She serves parents of children with developmental differences, including autism, ADHD, sensory processing challenges, and speech and language delays. Her work combines evidence-based developmental expertise with deep compassion, meeting families exactly where they are and helping them move forward with clarity and confidence.

Through one-on-one consultations, group coaching, online workshops and her podcast, Gabriele empowers parents to shift from frustration and self-doubt to connection and hope. She helps caregivers reframe “problem behaviors” as developmental signals and equips them with tools to create more ease, understanding, and joy at home.

This guide helps parents and teachers recognize the subtle signs that a child may be feeling unsafe or stuck in a fight, flight, or freeze response. It outlines common body language and behavioral cues to watch for and offers five simple, practical strategies to restore a sense of safety. The goal is to equip adults with tools to notice early, respond calmly, and create environments where children can return to learning and connection.
