We do better when we know better. We do better when we do it together!

One of the most common things parents hear is: “But they’re fine at school.”

Meanwhile at home:
* they melt down over tiny things
* crash emotionally
* refuse demands
* isolate
* become explosive or tearful
* need caregivers to complete basic routines for them
And parents are left feeling confused, guilty, blamed or not believed. This can also be exhausting for parents to provide the high level of support needed.

Many neurodivergent individuals spend the school day:
* suppressing movement
* monitoring social behaviour
* forcing eye contact
* tolerating sensory discomfort
* trying to “look okay”
* working extremely hard to meet expectations and “fit in”
By the time they get home, the nervous system has run out of capacity. Home becomes the place where the holding together stops.
That isn’t manipulation. It’s often the release that comes after prolonged stress and compensation. Sometimes the child struggling the most is the child nobody realises is struggling at all.

At Neuro Nurture, we don’t believe meaningful change happens in a single afternoon.

While many professional development workshops provide valuable information, teachers often leave inspired, only to return to busy classrooms where translating theory into practice is far more complex than it seemed. That’s why we advocate for an ongoing partnership with schools rather than one-off workshops.

Every school is different. Every classroom is different. Every learner is different.
Most importantly, we aim to create space for honest conversations. Teachers don’t need another list of things they’re “supposed” to do—they need practical ideas, opportunities to problem-solve together, and ongoing support as they implement new approaches.

Over the next few weeks, we’ll be sharing some of the conversations that have come out of the incredible workshops we’ve had the privilege of facilitating with schools across the Western Cape.

Because creating neuroinclusive schools isn’t about finding one perfect strategy, it’s about continuing the conversation.

This is what Neuro Nurture stands for 🌈

A space where communication is honoured in all its forms👇

🤸Where movement is not automatically stopped.

🛝Where play is not constantly redirected.

😌Where regulation is supported before participation is expected.

❤️This does not mean that children are never guided, challenged or supported to grow. It means that growth does not require them to become quieter, more convenient or less themselves.❤️

💡We want every child who enters our space to experience the message:

“You are safe here, you are worth understanding.”

If you didn’t know already- we also offer workshops!

We have thoroughly enjoyed doing many workshops for schools in the past few months 💡🩷

Teachers are being asked to support increasingly diverse learners, often without enough practical training, time or ongoing guidance.

➡️Our neurodiversity workshops are designed to bridge the gap between understanding and implementation.

We don’t offer generic advice that sounds wonderful in a workshop but feels impossible to apply in a busy classroom. We work collaboratively with schools to explore the challenges their educators are actually facing and provide practical, neuro-affirming strategies that can be adapted to their learners, routines and environments!

We offer a variety of different models and services ❤️Would your school benefit from a Neuro Nurture workshop? Email [email protected] or send us a DM 🤍

Nobody really prepares you for the financial side of raising a neurodivergent child.

We talk about the appointments but not always about the petrol getting to them.
We talk about a holistic, interdisciplinary approach but not the admin in aligning these with your current schedule or the cumulative cost.

It’s the therapy bills, the assessments, the school support, the things you buy because something suddenly makes your child’s day a little more manageable, the hours you take off work, the days you can’t work at all and the constant mental calculation of what does my child need next, and how are we going to pay for it?

We’ve seen how much families put into supporting their children, and think it’s important that we talk about the financial side without making parents feel guilty for struggling with it.

There may be tax relief available for some families, but the rules are quite specific. SARS provides for an Additional Medical Expenses Tax Credit where the relevant requirements are met, including the tax-purpose definition of disability and appropriate documentation such as an ITR-DD. This isn’t something we’d recommend trying to work out from a social media post.

We’ve been given information about a FREE webinar on 8 September at 7:15pm, where tax practitioners will walk families through the process and answer questions around disability-related tax claims. Scroll to find the flyer attached flyer with the registration details.

If you’ve never looked into this before, it may be worth attending because supporting your child is already a full-time job. You shouldn’t also have to become a tax expert. 🤍

Please note: Neuro Nurture is sharing this information for educational purposes. Tax eligibility and qualifying expenses depend on individual circumstances, and families should consult a suitably qualified tax practitioner.

To the fathers rewriting what they thought fatherhood would look like, this is for you 🤍
For some, fatherhood looks different to what they imagined.
Maybe you imagined:
- long conversations
- spontaneous adventures
- hearing “I love you” easily and often

Instead, your fatherhood may look like:
- learning regulation before routines
- back and forth trips between therapies
- advocating constantly
- celebrating things others overlook
- being needed deeply, even when it isn’t always expressed in expected ways

Some fathers are still waiting to hear:
“Daddy” or “I love you”
And that ache is real.
But love is not only spoken.

Sometimes it looks like:
- bringing you a favourite object
- sitting beside you
- seeking you in overwhelm
- repeating a script with you
- trusting you enough to unmask completely

You are seen in the appointments, the research, the exhaustion, the persistence, and the quiet moments nobody else notices. Even on the days it feels invisible, the connection you are building matters.

Happy Father’s Day to the fathers doing the deep, often unseen work of loving and supporting neurodivergent children 🤍

One of the most common arguments against support is:
“But they need to learn to cope in the real world.”

But the real world already contains:
* accommodations
* flexibility
* movement
* headphones
* breaks
* remote work
* written reminders
* different communication styles

Adults adapt environments for themselves constantly. We just tend to expect children to earn support first.

Supporting a neurodivergent child is not:
❌ making life too easy
❌ removing all discomfort
❌ lowering standards

It’s recognising that children access learning, regulation, and participation differently. And honestly?
Many adults are not succeeding because they were denied support as children.

They’re “succeeding” while burnt out.

This isn’t about never saying “good job.”

It’s about helping children connect praise to:
* effort
* strategy
* persistence
* regulation
* problem solving
* flexibility

Because many neurodivergent children benefit from feedback that is explicit and concrete.
Specific feedback helps children understand:
👉 what skill they used
👉 what helped them succeed
👉 and what they can return to again later

Importantly, it shifts praise away from:
“being good” towards learning, effort, self-awareness, and regulation.
