Parent Education and Support for all.

---

Empowering parents to support their children with confidence and connection.

At Built Like Me, we believe that parents are the most important part of a child’s therapy journey.

Parent Education Groups are designed to equip you with practical tools, emotional support, and shared understanding, so you can better support your child’s growth both inside and outside the therapy room.

These groups are ideal for parents and carers of children aged 4–12 who:

• Struggle with emotional regulation or meltdowns
   
• Have sensory differences or sensitivities
   
• Are autistic, have ADHD or are neurodivergent
   
• Are navigating anxiety, big feelings, or behaviour that feels hard to manage
   

👉 You don’t need a diagnosis to benefit from this group.
👉 All parenting journeys are welcome, whether your child is in therapy, on a waitlist, or you're just looking for support.

 Our Primary School Parent Education Group is an inclusive space where learning meets empathy. Tailored for parents of children in grades 1-6, these sessions will be led by experienced Occupational Therapist, Carmen Houlihan who is passionate about empowering families.
