The only Australian book that brings together expert advice, lived experience, interviews and up-to-date resources to help neurodivergent children thrive.
An increasing number of Australian children are being diagnosed with variations in their brain development. These can include attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), autism and dyslexia.
Authors Madonna King and Rebecca Sparrow have surveyed and interviewed almost 2000 Australians - including medical experts, educators, neurodivergent children and their parents - to gather together the best and most useful tips to ensure neurodivergent children take their rightful place in classrooms and beyond.
Out of the Box offers best-practice advice on navigating diagnosis and ongoing challenges, such as finding friends and learning at school. It also provides vital advice for teens, including driving, living independently and applying for jobs.
This essential guide provides hope, insight and practical help for the neurodivergent child's journey and the parents, teachers, friends and family who share it.
