Parent Support for Neurodivergent Families
Practical support for understanding your child and navigating everyday challenges
Parenting a neurodivergent child can bring questions that do not always have simple answers.
You may be navigating emotional outbursts, school concerns, difficult transitions, executive-functioning challenges, anxiety, family conflict or uncertainty about how much support your child needs.
Parent support provides a place to understand what may be happening beneath the behaviour and develop practical approaches that fit your child and your family.
Available in person in Milton and virtually across Ontario.
Parent Support May Help With
- Understanding ADHD, autism and neurodivergent needs
- Emotional regulation and co-regulation
- Communication and parent-child connection
- Reducing recurring power struggles
- Routines, transitions and executive-functioning support
- School-related stress, anxiety and avoidance

Choose the Type of Support That Fits
Parent Consultation
Individual parent consultation provides personalized support around your child’s needs and your family’s circumstances.
Together, you may explore what is contributing to difficult moments, how patterns of interaction are affecting the family and what practical changes may make everyday life more manageable.
Coaching-Informed Support
Some parents are primarily looking for practical, goal-focused strategies.
Coaching-informed support may focus on routines, planning and organization, executive functioning, transitions, communication, goal-setting and building consistency at home.
Parent Workshops & Education
Workshops provide structured opportunities to learn about neurodivergence and develop practical strategies alongside other parents and caregivers.
Topics may include ADHD and neurodivergence, emotional regulation, executive functioning, supporting children during overwhelm, communication and connection, school-related challenges and caregiver wellbeing.
Workshops and groups are offered at different times throughout the year. Only current programs should be displayed.
