Making School Work

$20.00

If you’ve ever walked out of a school meeting feeling gaslit, ignored, or ready to scream into a pillow — this guide is for you.

Whether your child is ADHD, autistic, PDA, or just doesn’t “fit” the school system, this resource gives you language, tools, and clarity to survive the chaos — and advocate like hell without burning out.
It won’t fix the system. But it’ll help you stop second-guessing yourself, understand your rights, and back yourself in the rooms that matter.

This Workbook was made for:

  • You’ve been told your child is “fine at school” — while they fall apart at home

  • You feel like you’re the only one asking for support

  • You’re sick of behaviour plans that don’t support regulation — just compliance

  • You’re navigating school refusal, burnout, or IEPs that don’t get followed

  • You’re thinking of changing schools but don’t know where to start

  • You need actual language, scripts, and plans — not vague encouragement
