Resources

Practical resources for children, families and the adults supporting them.

Two kinds of resource, for two different jobs. Plus a free guide for families considering advocacy.

Workbooks

For the child to complete

Neuroaffirming workbooks that help a child understand how their brain works, recognise what helps them regulate, and tell the adults around them what they need.

Cover of Understanding My Amazing Brain, the ADHD workbook

Understanding My Amazing Brain

£14.99

Helps children understand their ADHD, recognise what helps them regulate and learn, and tell the adults around them what they need.

Section one is written specifically for ADHD:

  • How ADHD shapes attention, impulses, emotions and motivation
  • The role of dopamine, working memory and time blindness
  • ADHD strengths, from creative thinking to hyperfocus
  • Myths versus reality, answered in a child's language
Cover of the autism workbook

Understanding My Autism

£14.99

The companion workbook, written for autistic children and young people in the same warm, neuroaffirming voice.

Section one is written specifically for autism:

  • What autism is, described as a difference rather than an illness
  • Routine, processing time, sensory sensitivity and intense interests
  • Autistic strengths, from attention to detail to a strong sense of justice
  • Myths versus reality, including empathy and the idea of growing out of it

Both workbooks together

ADHD & autism pair

For children who relate to both profiles, families where siblings differ, and anyone still working out which fits.

£29.98 bought separately

£24.99

What is inside both workbooks

Only section one changes between the two. Sections two to six are common ground, so a child working through either covers the same territory.

2 · Getting to know me

Interests, strengths, how I communicate and what I want adults to understand.

3 · Regulation & sensory world

Sensory profile, interoception, masking, rejection sensitivity, meltdown and shutdown.

4 · Executive functioning

Getting started, time blindness, organisation, transitions, sleep, homework and screens.

5 · School & self-advocacy

Reasonable adjustments, and sentences a young person can use to ask for what they need.

6 · For my family

Written for the adults at home. Behaviour as communication, co-regulation and repair.

How to Support Me

A one-page profile the child completes and shares with school.

Workbook licences

Using the workbooks across a setting

The £14.99 editions above are licensed for one child. If you are using a workbook in your practice or across a school, these licences cover that properly.

Professional & school licence

£59.00

For an individual professional, or a single setting, using the workbook with the children and young people they support.

Whole-school unlimited licence

£159.00

Unlimited internal use across a whole school or organisation, for every member of staff working with children who would benefit.
