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.

Social Stories

Your child doesn't understand social expectations

Steps

Before a social situation, create a simple story about what will happen
Include: where you're going, who'll be there, what's expected
Use simple language and pictures if possible
Read it together before the event
Review after: 'What went well? What was hard?'

What you need

Paper and markers, or a simple story template

Why it works

Children with Autism and ADHD often miss the unwritten social rules that neurotypical children absorb naturally. Social stories make these invisible expectations explicit and predictable. By rehearsing scenarios in advance, the child has a mental script to draw from when the real situation arises.

Age guidance

Works well for ages 3-10. Keep stories short (5-6 sentences) with pictures for younger children. Older children may prefer discussion-based preparation.

Real-world example

A parent created a simple social story before their child's first birthday party invitation: who would be there, what would happen, when they could leave. Their child read it three times before the party and managed 45 minutes — the longest they'd ever lasted at a social event. Small win, huge progress.

Troubleshooting

Keep stories short, around 5-6 sentences max
Focus on what TO do, not what NOT to do
