doctor jo's parenting plan
PSYCHOLOGICAL SUPPORT SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED FOR PARENTS OF NEURODIVERGENT CHILDREN
We understand that parenting a neurodivergent young person comes with some unique challenges. Often routine parenting suggestions - star charts, the naughty step, rewards - simply don't work in the same way for neurodivergent young people. The differences continue into adolescence and beyond! Everything Doctor Jo does is with the needs of neurodivergent young people in mind so you'll know that the explanations and suggestions are aimed at you. Neurodivergent people often need to 'fit in' to what is expected, but not here!
OUR PARENTING PLAN INCLUDES:
1. Our ADHD & Autism Pathways - each consists of a series of five essential workshops for those early in the process of understanding Autism and ADHD. These pathways guide you whether you are querying whether your child is neurodivergent; embarking on the assessment process; or needing post-diagnostic support. If your child has been diagnosed as both autistic and ADHD then we also introduce to specialist interventions for AuDHD.
2. "I need help with...." series of workshops. This is our ever growing library of workshops to help provide support for specific issues you may be dealing with. We encourage members to suggest subjects they'd like covered in our 'Neurodiverse City' forum and we will do our best to accommodate!
3.Doctor Jo's live monthly workshops - you'll find the link to our monthly live session, as well as recordings of previous live workshops. (We do not record the Q&A section of a live workshop to protect confidentiality for our members).
4.The Neurodiverse City - an online community for peer support as well as a space to ask Doctor Jo any questions.
Monthly (£20) membership which you can cancel any time.
