Hi there, I'm Kalyn (but most people call me Bird).

I'm the founder of Little Wings Support LLC: an Arizona-born-and-raised child development nerd, playful spirit, and lifelong advocate for neurodivergent kids and the people who love them. For over 13 years, I've supported children and families in many roles, including special education teacher, RBT and ABA provider, adaptive yoga instructor, respite caregiver, and community support provider.

Those experiences taught me a lot, but they also showed me that support doesn't have to be rigid or one-size-fits-all. I created Little Wings because I wanted to build something more collaborative, creative, and human: something that bridges the gaps between therapy, education, and everyday life, while keeping the needs of the whole family at the center. I don't believe in changing kids to fit the world. I believe in helping create a world that's better at embracing all kinds of minds, bodies, and ways of being.

I studied Early Childhood Education and Development at Yavapai College, psychology at Arizona State University, and completed my yoga teacher training through SWIHA. I'm always learning and regularly pursue continuing education, because growth never really stops. I maintain CPR and First Aid certifications, hold an Arizona IVP fingerprint clearance card, and am proud to serve families as an Arizona ESA-approved vendor.

When I'm not working, you'll probably find me hula hooping, hiking, kayaking, traveling, attending live music, or foraging wild mushrooms, slime molds, mosses, and interesting plants. I love to color, doodle, and write, and one of my biggest dreams is to publish a children's book someday. I believe play is powerful, curiosity is magic, and joy deserves a place in our everyday lives, for grown-ups too.
