About K&K Studios
Hi, I'm Kary
I’m the caregiver and creator behind K&K Studios.
Parenting and homeschooling my medically complex, neurodivergent son has shaped how I think about learning, communication, and everyday support. I’ve needed tools that make room for changing energy, different ways of learning, and days that don’t go according to plan.
That experience guides what I create: practical resources that respect individual needs and help families, educators, and therapists find a more manageable way forward.
Meet Dareold & Chester
Dareold’s story began with my son and When Math Feels Hard, an SEL story about math anxiety.
As we developed more stories together, I started noticing how much of himself my son was putting into Dareold: his love of collecting, his worries about what might happen, and the experiences he was trying to make sense of. Dareold became a character we could explore those feelings through, together.
Then came Chester—a low-key chameleon who stayed beside him. Chester wasn’t there to judge, push, or tell Dareold how he should feel. He was a helpful friend who offered company, support, and room to figure things out.
Their friendship reflects something that matters deeply to me: support can be quiet, patient, and offered without demands. Sometimes, having someone beside you is where it begins.
Built From Our Everyday Life
K&K Studios grew from the tools I needed while raising and homeschooling my medically complex, neurodivergent son—amid medical notes, appointment reminders, learning challenges, and everyday life.
I began creating resources to help us communicate, organize information, approach learning differently, and make room for changing needs. That same purpose continues to guide my work: creating practical tools that families and the people supporting them can adapt to their own lives.
If you’d like to get to know us better, visit In the Trenches. I share stories from our life alongside educational insights and reflections on caregiving, neurodivergence, and finding what works for our family.
Find Support That Fits
My work now includes PDA supports, executive function tools, visual math resources, and caregiver planning tools—all shaped by the need for practical support that can adapt to real life.
Whether you’re supporting your own family or working alongside someone else’s, I hope you find something here that makes the next step feel more manageable.
