Beneath the Behavior: Supporting Neurodivergent Kids With Science, Not Shame
Beneath the Behavior is a podcast for parents of neurodivergent kids who want understanding instead of blame.
Hosted by pediatric psychologist Dr. Mark Bowers, each episode explores what’s really going on beneath a child’s behavior—from a brain and nervous system perspective—so parents can respond with more clarity and less self-doubt.
This podcast isn’t about quick fixes or perfect parenting. It’s about slowing things down, making sense of hard moments, and supporting neurodivergent kids with science, not shame.
Episodes are short, focused, and grounded in real clinical experience. If parenting feels harder than it should, you’re not alone—and you’re in the right place.

This is one of the most practical, helpful, honest, and accurate podcasts I’ve ever heard and I’ve shared it with several other parents including my co-parenting ex and other parents of children with PDA, ODD, ADHD and other parents of children who are non-speaking with AAC devices.
I just stumbled upon your Facebook post today- And, I feel like you cracked the case wide open with my daughter. I’ve always wondered what I was doing wrong, if something was wrong with her, what we are missing. I found your podcast and I'm literally in tears in the pickup line, knowing that there is hope for us. Please keep doing what you are doing. So many of our parents NEED this, need YOU.
