Understanding Your Child with Additional Needs
Overview
Parenting a child with additional needs can bring a range of big emotions, that at times may feel overwhelming. Recognising and processing these feelings is a really important part of the care you provide your child.
Some parents describe their child as differently abled or neuroatypical, neurodiverse or neurodivergent.
