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.

Visual Morning Schedule

Your child forgets the steps, gets distracted halfway through, and mornings dissolve into chaos

Steps

Photograph each morning step (brush teeth, get dressed, eat breakfast)
Print and laminate or display on a device
Walk through the schedule WITH your child first
Let them check off each step as they complete it
Celebrate completing the routine. A high five is enough!

What you need

Printed pictures or a device to display them, velcro checkmarks or a whiteboard

Why it works

Visual schedules work particularly well for children with ADHD, Autism, and Dyspraxia because they reduce reliance on working memory and verbal instruction, which are often areas of difficulty. Having steps visible removes the need to hold the whole routine in mind at once, turning an overwhelming sequence into manageable, concrete actions.

Age guidance

Works particularly well for children aged 3-10. Older children may prefer a digital version or want to design their own.

Real-world example

Many parents find the first week feels like it isn't working — their child glances at the schedule and then does whatever they were going to do anyway. This is normal. Keep it visible, keep referencing it calmly, and most children start to use it independently within 2 weeks.

Troubleshooting

If they skip steps, gently redirect to the schedule instead of repeating verbal instructions
Try fewer steps at first (3-4) and build up
Let your child help create the schedule so they feel more ownership
