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.

Role Play Practice

Your child doesn't know how to respond in social situations

Steps

Identify a specific social challenge (sharing, waiting turns, greeting)
Act out the scenario with toys or together
Practice the 'right' response in a fun, low-pressure way
Use phrases like 'What could you say when...'
Celebrate effort, not perfection

What you need

Just your time and imagination (toys optional)

Why it works

Children with Autism and ADHD often learn best through doing, not telling. Role play creates a safe, low-stakes environment to practise responses that would be overwhelming in real social situations. It builds muscle memory for social interactions so they have something to fall back on.

Age guidance

Works well for ages 4-10. Younger children respond well to using toys as stand-ins. Older children may prefer to discuss scenarios verbally rather than act them out.

Real-world example

One family spent 10 minutes every Sunday practising 'what could you say when someone takes your toy?' using stuffed animals. It felt silly at first, but when the situation happened at school the following week, their child used the exact phrase they'd practised. The teacher was astonished.

Troubleshooting

Keep it playful and never lecture during role play
Let them play the 'other person' sometimes to build perspective
