More About Tanyika

Meet the Founder: Tanyika Mayhew Butler

She didn't just survive the storm—she built a business out of it.

At Kendall Autism Support & Consulting (KASC), our founder, Tanyika Mayhew Butler, doesn't lead from theory—she leads from the trenches. She's a warrior in heels(lately sneakers, lol)—a wife of 27 years, mother of two, MS fighter, autism advocate, retired educator, and transformational speaker who turned unimaginable challenges into a movement of hope, healing, and hard-hitting solutions.

When her daughter was diagnosed with autism before the age of two, and an intellectual disability, ADHD, and emotional-behavioral challenges upon starting middle school. Tanyika was not handed a roadmap. She was handed silence, stigma, and a broken system. But instead of giving up—she got to work.

While navigating five school changes in five years, behavior units, endless IEP meetings, attorney fees, and a diagnosis of multiple sclerosis herself, Tanyika discovered the missing piece to every conversation:

For Tanyika, resilience is not a buzzword. It's the blueprint. Tanyika says, "I did not choose resilience; it chose me." Her unwavering resilience in the face of adversity is a testament to the power of the human spirit, inspiring all who hear her story.

With over 27 years in education, helping train school counselors, building inclusive systems, and advocating in and out of classrooms, Tanyika brings lived experience and unmatched expertise to every room she enters. Her depth of knowledge and practical experience instill confidence in those she works with.

A proud graduate of Florida A&M University, Clark Atlanta University, and Valdosta State University, she has walked the halls of public schools as an educator and as the parent of a child with exceptionalities, fighting for systems that see the child and support the family.

She is the author of three books, including the groundbreaking A Krusade for Kendall: A Black Family's Journey with Autism, and the founder of a consulting firm that is reshaping how schools, businesses, and parents understand neurodiversity and resilience. Her numerous achievements stand as a testament to her dedication and success in her field.

If you're ready for real change—not another checklist—Tanyika is the voice you want in your room. Her unique blend of personal experience, professional expertise, and engaging speaking style can provide your audience with the inspiration, knowledge, and practical strategies they need to better understand and support individuals with autism and other exceptionalities.
