We have posted a free to access video about supporting your neurodivergent daughter with puberty and their first period.
@AilbheMckinney Univetsity of Oxford, will deliver a webinar on this topic on our parent platform next Monday 20th at 7pm
Puberty & first periods are difficult. There are some unique challenges to first periods for neurodivergent children, such as sensory issues & needing more time to prepare. This video talks about some of these challenges and how to support your child
