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.

Coordination Through Play

Your child avoids physical activities and feels clumsy compared to peers

Steps

Focus on non-competitive physical activities: swimming, trampolining, climbing
Play catch with a large, soft ball at close range
Set up simple obstacle courses at home
Celebrate effort and participation, never compare to peers
Build in daily movement that feels fun, not like therapy

What you need

Soft balls, space for movement, patience and encouragement

Why it works

Children with Dyspraxia often avoid physical activities because they've experienced repeated failure and embarrassment compared to peers. Non-competitive activities remove the comparison element, and water-based activities like swimming provide natural body support, making movement feel more achievable and enjoyable.

Age guidance

Start as early as age 3 with simple play-based movement. The key at any age is finding activities that feel fun rather than therapeutic.

Real-world example

One family tried football, rugby, and tennis before discovering that their child loved trampolining. No one was watching, no one was keeping score, and the proprioceptive input was exactly what their body craved. They went from avoiding all physical activity to bouncing for 30 minutes a day.

Troubleshooting

Swimming is excellent for dyspraxia because the water supports the body
Avoid team sports initially if they cause anxiety
An OT can create a targeted motor skills programme
