Mornings can feel like the hardest part of the day. The rush, the demands, the transitions…all on top of young people trying to wake up and get going. For disabled and neurodivergent children, mornings can bring extra challenges, from differences in sleep cycles and blood sugar to managing cortisol levels, energy, and the pressure of time.

Mornings can feel like the hardest part of the day. The rush, the demands, the transitions…all on top of young people trying to wake up and get going. For disabled and neurodivergent children, mornings can bring extra challenges, from differences in sleep cycles and blood sugar to managing cortisol levels, energy, and the pressure of time. During our time together, we’ll explore what’s really happening in the body and brain during wake-up time. We’ll look at how the circadian rhythms, health factors, and stress hormones affect mornings and what this means for your child. Together we’ll look at practical strategies for helping young people transition into their day and tools for supporting everyone at such a busy time of the day.
