2e Parent Support Group November 2026

Guest Speaker: Dr Danika Maddocks

Support Your 2e Child's Self-Awareness and Self-Advocacy

How can parents help neurodivergent kids and teens develop their self-awareness and self-advocacy skills when they live in a world that’s not designed for them and often misunderstands their experiences? In this talk, Dr. Danika Maddocks will share simple strategies to build your 2e child’s self-awareness, self-trust, and self-advocacy through daily interactions and collaborative conversations. You’ll also learn new ways to notice moments when your child is practicing nascent aspects of these complex skills.

We will then continue the session with interactive discussions and the opportunity to join breakout rooms to share your own parenting 2e questions and thoughts.
