Parenting a child with neurodiversity, such as autism or ADHD, can be difficult. And exhausting. But with the right tools and techniques you can both experience success.

This weekly parenting series, facilitated by certified parent coach Jen Kiss, covers things we come across when parenting a neurodiverse child. Each week we will dive into a new topic to help you better understand your child’s brain and challenges. But most importantly we will discover how to tap into the superpowers of your child’s brain to make parenting easier. This is a confidential small group series (12 household maximum) that aims to foster connection, peer to peer learning and a growing support network.

We will cover:

  • How the neurodiverse brain works

  • The social and emotional impacts of being neurodiverse

  • Necessary supports and structure

  • Parenting tools that work best for discipline

  • How to help minimize symptoms
