Managing Transitions into the Holidays, then Back to School

The weeks before the holidays and the days before going back to school can be some of the most difficult in the calendar for neurodivergent children. The shift in routine, the loss of structure, the sensory demands of unstructured time — and then having to reverse all of it — can send even the most settled child into real difficulty.

This webinar is for parents and carers of neurodivergent children who want practical tools for both ends of the holiday period — the transition in, and the transition out.

We'll look at how to plan for routine changes and manage sensory sensitivities during the holidays, how to support emotional regulation when structure disappears, and how to help your child ease back into school in a way that reduces anxiety rather than adding to it. We'll also cover communication with school and how to use neuroaffirming adjustments to make the return more manageable.

You'll come away with strategies for both transitions, plus a free Neuroaffirming School Checklist for Neurodivergent Students to support the back-to-school period.
