The mainstream system for families attempting to access support for their children with neurodiverse needs is under funded, under educated and full of long wait times. This can feel relentlessly frustrating when you are concerned about a child's behaviour and mental health (I know because I am a mum too on these wait lists). While you're waiting on these long wait lists you can still access help and support.
​
The purpose of this website is to provide realistic and affordable support to SEND families, aiming to reduce their sense of isolation, outside the realms of professional discrimination, misconceptions and parental judgement or criticism. ​
​
The diagnosis in my own household between my three children range from: ADHD, AUTISM, PDA, SLEEP DISORDERS, ANXIETY and ARFID (Avoidance & Restrictive Eating Disorder). I also have professional knowledge and qualifications in these areas too.
​
Personally, I found that the loneliness associated with parenting children with additional needs is like no other. I felt I no longer managed to fit into any version of normal that society seems to hold. This site is to share these personal experiences with you so that you may not feel so alone with your own situation and to support you in moving positively through this journey of parenting neurodiverse children.
​
What started out as weekly posts has evolved into a dynamic site packed with information about parental self worth, parental emotional regulation, parental mental health, parenting neuro-spicy children and child behaviours.
I offer downloadable courses and 1:1 bespoke support either via email/zoom/telephone. Created by a professional and mum that got fed up of waiting for CAMHs.
