Our Story

Unified Village was born out of both lived and professional experience. Founder Traci Schultz and her husband spent over a decade fostering more than 30 children and are now adoptive parents to four boys with unique needs. With a background in early childhood education and training in neuroscience-informed approaches, Traci knows firsthand the challenges—and the possibilities—of supporting children with complex behaviors.


Our Philosophy

  • Behavior is communication. Every puzzling behavior tells us something about a child’s unmet need.

  • Connection before correction. When kids feel safe and connected, growth can happen.

  • It takes a team. From families and teachers to support staff and therapists, children thrive when their entire circle is working together.


Our Misson

To support families, schools, and professionals in building united teams that can respond to children with connection, understanding, and confidence.
