“My child NEVER misbehaves” -said no parent, ever! 

All children have behaviours that challenge adults, but when a child is neurodiverse- in other words, has attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), Autism or a learning disability- behaviours that challenge are even more common. For neurodiverse children, behaviours can get in the way of making friends, achieving at school and just generally, being happy. And as parents, this can be a really worrying. 

Through the STEAMER Method Group Programme, we support parents to understand why neurodiverse children behave the way they do. We teach adults to take control when their behaviours leave us feeling helpless and give parents the confidence to make changes that are backed up by research and proven to improve your neurodiverse child's behaviour. All while celebrating their uniqueness and their strengths and promoting a positive bond.
