is to improve the lives of Neurodivergent* children, young people and their families through our 3 pillars of support.
Neurodiversity affirming groups designed and delivered to foster connection, creativity and fun, including Mindful Crafts, Yoga and Woodland Warriors Outdoor Activity sessions.
Group sessions, 1 to 1 support via phone/email, to help families feel informed, understood and in a better position to advocate for their child. Parent wellbeing sessions to help you cope with stress, meet other parents and have some time to yourself.
Practical, friendly workshops for parents, carers, and professionals covering neurodivergence, everyday strategies and reasonable adjustments.
🌿 Looking for support for your neurodivergent child or teenager? You`re not alone. 💜
At MyOTAS (My Own Time and Space), we`re a parent-led charity based in Wickford supporting neurodivergent children, young people and their families across the Basildon district and beyond.
Our entire team are parents of neurodivergent children, so we understand the challenges because we`ve lived them too.
💜 We offer a wide range of support, including:
🌳 Woodland Warriors outdoor sessions
🎨 Mindful Crafts groups
🎲 Board game and social groups
🧘 Parent & child wellbeing activities
👨👩👧 Parent support groups

💬 Online Parent Support Group on Facebook - search @myotas
We also co-wrote the FREE Supporting Your Neurodivergent Child guide – a comprehensive resource packed with practical advice, information and signposting for families navigating life with a neurodivergent child. Thousands of families have already benefited from it.
Whether you`re at the start of your journey or have been navigating SEND for years, you`ll always find a warm welcome at MyOTAS.
✨ You don`t have to do this alone.
