These resources are for Parents
Listen to Dr Sarah Helton (aka Backpocket teacher) who discusses specific support neurodivergent children may need when their parent is sick
This guide was created by a mum living with cancer, and her two neurodivergent children
Try these tools:
Make a plan with your kid so they know in advance what changes will happen in their day to day lives.
Create your own family story using visuals only. Print out these images and make a scrapbook.
Curate your family story using text only. Print this put, fill in the blanks and add your own words.
These mood cards can help kids find the emotions they may be feeling.
