Alana Simpson, Owner of Spectrum Protection, has officially launched her business with a mission rooted in compassion, professional expertise, and a drive to empower parents and educators working with neurodivergent children. With a strong background in behavioral therapy and a well-received book already gaining international recognition, Simpson’s journey into entrepreneurship marks a significant step in expanding support and accessible tools for families and teachers navigating the world of behavioral development.
Simpson’s academic foundation began at Bowling Green State University, where she earned a degree in sociology. Her career has since been shaped by dedicated work in behavioral health, including holding certifications as both a Board Certified Autism Technician and a Certified Autism Specialist. Over the years, she has provided direct therapeutic interventions across various settings, from in-home sessions to structured center-based programs. Her professional experience includes a four-year tenure at the Center for Autism and Related Disorders and her current role as a Behavioral Therapist at an elementary school, where she continues to implement customized treatment plans tailored to each child’s unique behavioral needs.
The inception of Spectrum Protection was directly inspired by Simpson’s authorship of The Behavior Toolbox: A Guidebook for Parents. This book, which provides actionable, empathetic strategies for working with neurodivergent children, has not only resonated deeply with readers but was also recognized with an International Book Award in March. The recognition of her work affirmed the demand and impact of her approach, propelling her to launch Spectrum Protection as a dedicated platform for continued advocacy and resource development.
“The response to The Behavior Toolbox showed me that parents and teachers are hungry for tools that feel human, not clinical. It’s not about telling them what to do—it’s about showing them that they can do it, with support that sees the whole child,” Simpson explained.
Spectrum Protection offers more than a general roadmap—it’s a business shaped by both lived and professional experience. Simpson’s therapeutic insight informs the tools and strategies she creates, but it is her deep commitment to empathy and inclusivity that forms the business’s core philosophy. Her services are designed to bridge the gap between clinical methods and everyday practical application, ensuring that the advice is not only effective but also accessible and relatable.
What differentiates Spectrum Protection in a competitive field is its commitment to heart-centered service. Simpson emphasizes that her work isn’t about offering generic solutions—it’s about meeting families and educators where they are and providing the specific, real-world guidance they need. Through her unique perspective as both a therapist and an author, she is building a comprehensive support system that values each child’s individuality and recognizes the importance of equipping adults with confidence and clarity.
“My goal isn’t just to inform—it’s to empower. I want parents and teachers to walk away feeling stronger, more prepared, and more hopeful. That’s what drives me,” she added.
The company’s growing platform is built not just around published material but also includes plans for additional books, ongoing educational content, and interactive resources designed to evolve with the needs of the community. Simpson is actively developing future volumes aimed at educators and caregivers, each one crafted to address specific challenges with tailored, evidence-based methods.
The success of her first book and the subsequent founding of Spectrum Protection reflect an expanding movement to demystify behavioral strategies and create welcoming spaces for families and professionals alike. Simpson’s vision is not simply about guidance—it is about transformation, both in the lives of neurodivergent children and in the confidence of those who support them.
As Spectrum Protection continues to grow, Simpson remains focused on the foundational values that started it all: compassion, empowerment, and education. She envisions a future where families feel less isolated and more informed, and where behavioral strategies are seen not as clinical prescriptions, but as tools of connection and understanding.
More than just a business, Spectrum Protection represents a shift in how behavioral health support is delivered—rooted in authenticity, built on evidence, and powered by the lived commitment of its founder.
