Supporting an autistic, ADHD or highly sensitive child through everyday routines can be challenging, especially when difficult transitions and meltdowns become part of daily life.
In this practical, compassionate webinar, experienced clinical psychologists guide you through evidence-based strategies that really help.
You’ll learn why meltdowns often happen at transition points, and why prevention is often better than cure when it comes to overwhelm. We’ll explore neuro-affirming ways to reduce triggers, and support your child’s underlying needs rather than relying on compliance-based approaches.
What This Workshop Covers:
The session covers step-by-step transition strategies tailored for a range of neurodivergent profiles: helping your child move between activities, settings, or expectations with more confidence and less distress. Expect practical tools you can start using immediately.
You’ll leave with:
A clearer understanding of meltdown cycles
Tools to create smoother, more predictable transitions
Approaches that strengthen connection and reduce everyday friction
Increased confidence as a parent or caregiver
This webinar is designed to be validating, practical, and grounded in current clinical knowledge - and to make life a little easier for both you and your child.
Who This Workshop Is For
Neurodivergent parents (diagnosed or self-identified)
Parents experiencing overwhelm, exhaustion or resentment
Those wanting tools to manage the sensory, social and emotional load of everyday life.
Anyone who wants a compassionate, shame-free approach to burnout
No prior knowledge needed. Come exactly as you are.
