Surviving (and Thriving) Through the Summer Holidays

Hannah Dennis Season 1 Episode 8

For many parents of neurodivergent children, the long summer break can feel less like a holiday and more like a marathon. In this practical and empowering episode, Dr. Hannah shares survival strategies to help your family navigate the weeks ahead with more ease, joy, and connection.

You’ll discover:

  • 📅 How to create structure & predictability with visual timetables, timers, and simple routines.
  • 🎧 Sensory support strategies — from toolkits to calm-down spaces — to prevent overwhelm on outings.
  • 🗣 Social and boredom-busting ideas, including role-play, social stories, and activity jars.
  • 💗 Parent self-care tips you can fit into just 10 minutes a day.

Whether you’re juggling sensory needs, social challenges, or the endless “What are we doing today?” questions, these tips will help you plan a summer that works for your child — and for you.
