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.

Travel and Holidays

For when holidays and travel disrupt routine and cause extended meltdowns or anxiety

Steps

Create a visual itinerary showing each day of the trip
Pack familiar comfort items: favourite pillow, bedtime toy, familiar food
Maintain key routines even on holiday (same bedtime sequence, same wake-up ritual)
Build in downtime every day. Don't over-schedule
Prepare for the journey itself: sensory kit, snacks, entertainment, regular stops

What you need

Visual itinerary, comfort items from home, sensory travel kit

Why it works

Travel disrupts every anchor a neurodivergent child relies on — routine, environment, food, sleep patterns, and sensory familiarity. Maintaining key routines and bringing familiar items preserves enough predictability to prevent the total dysregulation that unfamiliar settings can trigger.

Age guidance

Relevant at all ages. Younger children need more familiar items from home; older children benefit from being involved in planning and having a visual itinerary.

Real-world example

A family packed their child's usual bedtime story, favourite pillow, and the same breakfast cereal. The hotel room was unfamiliar, but bedtime felt exactly the same. Their child slept on the first night — something that had never happened on previous holidays.

Troubleshooting

The first day is often the hardest. Lower your expectations and let them adjust
Self-catering accommodation gives more control over food and routine
A 'home base' day mid-trip (staying in, doing nothing) helps prevent burnout
