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.

Dyscalculia Homework Adaptations

For when maths homework causes meltdowns because your child can't process numbers on paper

Steps

Read problems aloud. Hearing maths helps some children
Use graph paper to keep numbers aligned in columns
Allow a calculator for computation so they can focus on concepts
Break problems into tiny steps with visual working-out space
Use colour coding: one colour per operation (+, -, ×, ÷)

What you need

Graph paper, coloured pens, calculator, patience

Why it works

Dyscalculia means the brain struggles to process numerical symbols in the standard way. Graph paper, colour coding, and physical manipulation offer alternative pathways for the brain to understand mathematical concepts. Removing computation pressure allows the child to focus on understanding the concept itself.

Age guidance

Relevant from age 6 onwards when formal maths homework begins. These adaptations can be used right through secondary school.

Real-world example

A parent whose child had meltdowns every homework night started reading maths problems aloud. Their child, who couldn't make sense of numbers on a page, could solve the same problems when they heard them spoken. The issue wasn't understanding — it was the visual processing of written numbers.

Troubleshooting

Ask the teacher to reduce the volume of maths homework, focusing on quality
If the child is in tears, STOP. The learning has ended
Consider a specialist dyscalculia tutor for targeted support
