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.

Tic Awareness at School

Your child is anxious about tics being noticed or commented on at school

Steps

Work with your child on what THEY want peers to know (if anything)
Ask the teacher to normalise tics without drawing attention
Provide a 'tic break' pass so they can leave the classroom briefly
Educate close friends if your child wants that
Remind your child: tics are not their fault and not something to be ashamed of

What you need

School communication, break pass, supportive teacher

Why it works

For children with Tourette's, the anxiety about tics being noticed is often more distressing than the tics themselves. Proactive awareness work reduces the social threat, which often reduces tic frequency — since stress is one of the biggest tic amplifiers.

Age guidance

Most relevant from age 5 onwards when children become socially aware. Let your child lead how much they want peers to know.

Real-world example

One family worked with their child's teacher to give a brief, matter-of-fact explanation to the class: 'Sometimes my brain makes me make sounds or movements. I can't control it, and it doesn't hurt.' The child said the biggest relief was that nobody stared after that.

Troubleshooting

If bullying occurs, escalate immediately. Tics are a protected characteristic
Tourette's Action UK has school resource packs for teachers
Tics often increase with stress, so reducing school anxiety helps tics too
