Nationwide — Alana Simpson, an African American Board-Certified Autism Technician and the Founder of Spectrum Protection, is proud to announce that her California-based company has been recognized by the Evergreen Awards as the Best Neurodivergent Support Services in the U.S. of 2026. This prestigious honor recognizes organizations that demonstrate exceptional innovation, impact, and commitment to improving the lives of the communities they serve.
Evergreen Awards highlighted Spectrum Protection’s practical approach to supporting neurodivergent children, families, educators, and professionals through real-world strategies, educational resources, and advocacy efforts.
Her dedication to helping others understand behavior as communication has become the foundation of her company’s success. Through books, training programs, consulting services, and innovative technology solutions, the organization continues to make a meaningful difference in homes, schools, and communities across the country.
One of Spectrum Protection’s most impactful resources is The Behavior Toolbox, a practical guide designed to help parents, teachers, caregivers, and professionals understand and address challenging behaviors in a positive and effective way. Unlike many behavior resources that focus solely on theory, this book provides step-by-step guidance that readers can immediately implement in everyday situations. Available in both English and Spanish, it reflects Alana’s commitment to making behavioral support accessible to diverse communities.
In addition to The Behavior Toolbox, Simpson has authored The Educator’s Behavioral Guide, Step-by-Step Everyday Challenges, and Now What? A Parent’s Guide After the Diagnosis.
These books help families navigate life after an autism diagnosis, support educators in managing behaviors in the classroom, and provide professionals with effective tools for working with neurodivergent individuals. Each book focuses on real-life situations and offers actionable solutions that readers can implement immediately to create positive outcomes at home, school, and in the community.
Through her writing, Alana’s goal is to empower others with the knowledge and confidence needed to overcome everyday challenges and help every child reach their full potential. She also aims to provide adults with easy-to-follow tools, checklists, and strategies that increase confidence and improve outcomes for children.
Through its award-winning services, innovative technology like Behaviorly, professional training, and publications, Spectrum Protection continues its mission of advocating for every voice across the spectrum.
