FREE Parent Support Tools
Inclusion Freebie of the Month
Parents of autistic, ADHD, AuDHD and otherwise neurodivergent children deserve genuine support, not just advice.
So each month, one of my paid parent support tools becomes FREE for everyone.
Freebie #2 - September 2026
Hidden Expectations Guide
Every program has unwritten rules – about listening, waiting, transitions, and social interaction – that are rarely explained outright, leaving many neurodivergent children to guess. When those rules go unnamed, kids can be seen as "not listening" or "not coping," when really, no one ever told them what was expected.
The Hidden Expectations Guide helps you spot these unspoken rules before they become barriers. It’s organised by program type and expectation category, with space to note what might help your child succeed.
A practical checklist designed for parents of neurodivergent children navigating real-world programs. Includes full colour and eco black-and-white print versions.

How the Program Fit Snapshot Tool helps
Move From Vague Feelings to Clear Insight
Instead of relying on gut feeling alone, this tool helps you notice:
what helped your child participate
what created stress or barriers
how the environment actually worked for them
whether continuing the program is likely to build confidence
No over-analysis. Just structured clarity.
Who the tool is for
For Parents Trying to Find the Right Fit
This tool is helpful if your child is:
autistic, ADHD, or otherwise neurodivergent
trying sport, therapy, or community activities
attending trial sessions
struggling in programs that claim to be inclusive
needing environments where they genuinely belong
No diagnosis required.
When to use it
Use It Soon After a Session
Complete the Snapshot Tool:
after a trial lesson
during the first weeks of a program
when something feels “not quite right”
before committing long-term time or money
Fresh observations lead to clearer decisions.
Why Use It?
Clarity Without Overwhelm
Using the tool helps you:
✔ recognise supportive environments
✔ identify hidden mismatches early
✔ advocate confidently for your child
✔ reduce decision fatigue

Because inclusion isn’t about making children fit programs. It’s about finding programs that fit children.
