NeuroUniverse

ThriveND is a UK-based membership service supporting parents and families of neurodivergent young people. Founded by Jessie Hewitson, an autistic writer and author of books on autism and ADHD, the organisation helps families understand their child’s needs and navigate education and support. Its team includes neurodivergent former head teachers, experienced SENCOs and other specialists who bring both professional expertise and lived experience.

ThriveND supports families facing school attendance difficulties, adjusting to a new diagnosis, or concerned that their child’s current support is inadequate. Members begin with a conversation and can receive a personalised plan with practical priorities and next steps. Ongoing services include regular check-ins, an email helpline, specialist advice, document reviews and help drafting correspondence, reports and Education, Health and Care Plans. The team can also explain what support may be appropriate and help parents communicate with schools and services.

Membership is offered at monthly rates, with specialist services charged separately at member rates.
