Your child lines up every car in the house. They play out the same scene a hundred times. They use the furniture ferociously in play, and everything is put into rainbow order. They fall apart the moment they walk in from school.
None of this is a problem to fix. It's their nervous system doing its job.
Join AuDHD clinical psychologist and play therapist Brianna Thomas to explore how autistic, ADHD and AuDHD kids use play to regulate, and how you can support them at home.
In this session, you'll learn:
Why neurodivergent kids often can't talk their way to calm, and what play does instead
How lining up, repetition, scripting, stimming and parallel play support regulation and connection
How to use your child's deep interests as a doorway to connection
What autistic, ADHD and AuDHD kids may each need from play
How to recognise your child's nervous system state, and why regulated doesn't always mean calm
Simple, low-demand play invitations matched to how your child is feeling
This webinar is for you if:
Your child has big meltdowns, shutdowns or after-school collapse
"Use your words" and feelings charts just aren't landing
Your child's play looks different from other kids', and you want to understand it
You find their play exhausting and need to know how to tune in differently
You're a parent, grandparent or carer of a neurodivergent child aged around 3–12, whether diagnosed or wondering
Learn to understand your child's play, connect through their interests, and discover simple, low-demand play ideas that meet them where they're at.
No therapy training needed. Just you, your child, and maybe some craft supplies.
