Resources
A place to start when you’re trying to work something out.
Some questions need a bit of unpacking before you know what to do next. This is where I collect things I write and make for parents, learners and schools trying to understand what they are seeing and what may be useful from there.
Two places to start
READ
The Neuroparenting Newsroom
Articles on neurodivergence, giftedness, twice-exceptionality, school fit and the questions that come up when the usual explanation does not quite account for the child in front of you.
STUDY GUIDES
The Other Way In
Literature study guides designed for neurodivergent, gifted and twice-exceptional learners. The academic depth stays. The route into the text, revision and written response is clearer.
Five setworks • Digital PDF • R180 each
STUDY GUIDES
Choose the setwork you need
You can go straight to the guide you need from here. Each one is a downloadable PDF designed for neurodivergent, gifted and twice-exceptional learners, with the academic depth kept intact and a clearer route into revision and written work.
For parents: Newsroom
Writing about neurodivergence, giftedness, twice-exceptionality, school and the questions that tend to come up when what you are seeing does not quite fit the explanation you have been given.
For learners: The Other Way In
Practical ways into studying, planning, remembering, writing and schoolwork when the usual approach is making the work harder than it needs to be.
For teachers and schools
Practical support for understanding what may be happening for a learner and deciding what is worth trying in the classroom.
FROM THE ARTICLE ARCHIVE
Years of writing, all in one place
Before the Newsroom, there was already a substantial collection of writing here on the Hub. These articles cover giftedness and twice-exceptionality, learning and school, neurodivergence, parenting and lived experience. If you are trying to make sense of something, there is a good chance I have written about it somewhere along the way.
Gifted and 2e
Giftedness, twice-exceptionality, school fit and what happens when ability and school experience do not line up.
Learning and school
Assessment, accommodations, exams, classroom demands and practical ways of understanding why a learner may be struggling.
Understanding neurodivergence
ADHD, autism, dyslexia, sensory differences, anxiety and regulation, explained in human terms.
Parenting and lived experience
The pieces that come from parenting, teaching, advocacy and living alongside children whose stories rarely fit neatly into a box.
Looking for everything? The archive holds all of the original Neuroparenting Hub articles, including pieces that cross more than one of these themes.
People, places and tools I trust
A deliberately small collection of professionals, organisations, schools and tools that I have a genuine personal or professional reason for recommending.
