Thriive is designed for parents and carers of neurodivergent children (ADHD, autism, dyslexia, dyspraxia, sensory processing differences, and more). Whether you have a diagnosis or are still figuring things out, Thriive helps you manage daily life.

My child hasn't been formally diagnosed yet. Is this still useful?

Absolutely. Many of the strategies in Thriive are helpful for any child who struggles with focus, emotional regulation, or executive function — diagnosis or not.

What features does Thriive include?

Thriive includes visual routine builders, a challenge tracker with pattern detection, a strategy library tailored to your child's neurodivergent profile, daily check-ins, mood tracking, and shareable reports for doctors and schools.

Yes — Thriive is free to start with core features. A Pro tier is available for families who want advanced tracking, unlimited routines, and additional features.

Is this just for UK families?

While Thriive includes UK-specific resources (NHS, SENCO, EHCP guidance), the core strategies and tools are universal. Families worldwide use Thriive to support their neurodivergent children.

Dressing Independence

Your child can't or won't dress themselves and battles happen every morning

Steps

Lay clothes out in order the night before (pants first at the top, shoes last at the bottom)
Choose adaptive clothing: elasticated waists, pull-on shoes, no buttons or small zips
Use a visual dressing sequence at their eye level
Teach one skill at a time: this week we master socks, next week we add trousers
Build in extra time so there's no rush and no pressure

What you need

Adaptive clothing options, visual dressing sequence, extra time

Why it works

Dressing involves complex motor planning, sequencing, and sensory tolerance — all areas that challenge children with Dyspraxia, Sensory Processing differences, and Autism. Simplifying clothing, laying items out in order, and teaching one skill at a time breaks an overwhelming task into achievable steps.

Age guidance

Most impactful between ages 3-8 when dressing independence is developing. Adaptive clothing remains helpful through the teen years.

Real-world example

A parent laid clothes out in a vertical line on the floor each evening — pants at the top, shoes at the bottom. Their child just worked down the line. No decisions, no sequencing errors, and mornings became 15 minutes shorter.

Troubleshooting

Seamless socks and tagless clothing reduce sensory friction enormously
Practise fastenings during play time, not during the morning rush
Occupational therapists can recommend specific brands and techniques
