AIMing Between The Lines
At AIM, our work goes far beyond assessments and academic plans—it’s about understanding people and meeting them where they are. AIMing Between the Lines is our blog dedicated to unpacking the real stories, challenges, and triumphs behind learning, neurodiversity, and mental health.
Whether you're a teacher navigating classroom needs, a parent looking for answers, or a professional supporting students and families, this space is for you. We cover everything from educational tools and school-based strategies to broader topics like advocacy, inclusion, and emotional well-being—always with heart, a touch of humor, and a deep respect for the journey.
We’re here to help you read between the lines, because that’s often where the most important truths are found.
Permission to Disappoint: Escaping the People-Pleasing Trap
We’ve been taught that being agreeable, helpful, and accommodating is the polite thing to do—but when you start saying “yes” at the expense of your own well-being, it’s no longer kindness. It’s self-erasure. In Permission to Disappoint: Escaping the People-Pleasing Trap, we explore why the need to please others runs so deep, how it quietly drains your energy and self-worth, and what it looks like to finally start honoring your own needs—without apology.
