Parenting to Nurture your child's Neurotype
What is Nurturing Neurotypes?
Nurturing Neurotypes offers online neuroaffirming parenting courses that focus on educating parents about neurodiversity, autism and ADHD, and supporting them in understanding and nurturing their child's unique needs and strengths.
Each module includes practical exercises and real-life examples. The aim is to build parents' confidence and equip them with neuroaffirming strategies that foster a supportive, understanding environment for their neurodivergent children.
Designed by clinical psychologists and experts by experience, we have created courses aimed at helping parents to parent their autistic and ADHD children in neuro-affirming ways.

Be part of our community!
Parents and caregivers are the experts when it comes to understanding the unique needs and challenges of their children, and we value their insights as we develop our courses and resources. By incorporating parental feedback, we aim to create materials that resonate with the real-life experiences of families. This collaborative approach helps ensure that our offerings are relevant, practical, and impactful for the children and caregivers alike.
To facilitate this valuable exchange of ideas, we regularly hold one-off events and gatherings where parents can share their thoughts, ask questions, and engage with our team. These events provide a platform for open dialogue, allowing us to better understand the specific needs of our community and to tailor our resources accordingly. Whether it's through workshops, focus groups, or informal meet-ups, we are committed to listening to and learning from the parents who entrust us to impart important and relevant knowledge.
If you are interested in participating in these events and contributing to the development of our courses and resources, we invite you to join our community. By becoming a member, you'll receive updates on upcoming events, opportunities to provide feedback, and access to a supportive network of like-minded parents and professionals.
