Who is this group for?

This group is for parents and caregivers of Autistic and ADHD children anywhere from approximately 6 through to 17. 


There are no specific age "restrictions", however we will have one section focusing on transitions, which will be geared more towards the 10-17 year old age group. 


Otherwise, the content will be very applicable to all neurodivergent families, children, and youth.

Week One: ADHD & Autism Essentials

We'll spend much of the first week getting to know one another and establishing group learning goals. We'll also cover essential information all parents need to know about ADHD, Autism. 

Week Two: Emotional Regulation and Co-regulation

Emotional regulation (and dysregulation) can be one of the most significant challenges for Autistic and ADHD children (and for their parents). We'll talk about what this looks like in every day life, and how we can support our children to develop self-regulation skills. We'll also talk about how to keep our cool when our own internal responses are also becoming dysregulated. 

Week Three: Effective Communication

Understanding communication differences, such as: echolalia, scripting, precise language, and direct & non-verbal communication. Communicating effectively with ADHD & Autistic kids. 

Week Four: Challenging Behaviours

A frank and open discussion about the difficult and concerning behaviours our youth & teens sometimes display. Compassionate, evidence-based strategies for supporting our children, and for working through challenging behaviours.  

Week Five: Advocacy & transitions

A discussion of common challenges our children encounter at school, and effective ways to advocate for our children at school and in our communities. Advice for preparing our children for transitions from elementary to junior high, and from junior high to high school. 

Week Six: Review and parent-led discussions

The conversations in the last week will be based on the goals parents and caregivers expressed in the first weeks, as well as questions and discussions which arose throughout the group sessions. 

"Bonus" Week Seven: Executive Functions

An in-depth discussion of the various executive functioning challenges Autistic and ADHD children often experience, and strategies for managing these difficulties. Further discussion around any unanswered questions for those who would like to continue the conversation.
