Are You Overwhelmed as a Parent? Minecraft group includes optional support for Neurodivergent Families

Parenting a neurodivergent child—whether they have ADHD, Autism, OCD, Learning Disabilities, Tourette’s, or Speech Impediments—comes with unique challenges.

Do you find yourself struggling with any of the following daily challenges?

Your child constantly talking and you’re feeling overstimulated?
Your child’s inability to independently manage daily routines and transitions?
Getting them to calmly step away from screens like the iPad?
Are you worried about your child’s self-esteem because you hear them talk down about themselves?
Are you overwhelmed with your child getting red cards at school and being sent home early?
Your child doesn’t seem to be interested in friends or social interactions?
Managing their strong emotional reactions to minor setbacks?
Helping them cope with sensory sensitivities that make daily life challenging?

You’re not alone. Enrolling your child in the Minecraft group and taking advantage of scheduling parent support sessions will provide you with effective strategies to help your child thrive both socially and emotionally.

Breaking the Cycle of Frustration: Helping Neurodivergent Kids Thrive

When neurodivergent children lack effective communication tools, frustration can escalate quickly. This frustration often leads to emotional outbursts, meltdowns, and tantrums, causing stress for both children and parents. Parents want to support their child but may struggle to find effective strategies, as traditional therapy methods don’t always meet the unique needs of neurodivergent kids.

With over 15 years of experience, I’ve worked with countless families who have shared that conventional childhood therapy didn’t work for them. That’s why I developed a unique, engaging, and effective approach designed for today’s digital age. My mission is to provide an interactive and engaging therapy experience that empowers children to break free from frustration, build confidence, and develop lasting social skills.

Social Skills Minecraft Group: Interactive Therapy for Neurodivergent Kids

Online Minecraft-based social skills group is led by a special education teacher and licensed therapist, providing interactive therapy meeting on both Google Meets and Minecraft designed to help neurodivergent children learn emotional regulation and social skills. Through structured gameplay, kids develop emotional and life skills in an environment they already feel safe in. This group aims to help your child:

Manage impulsivity – Learn how to resist blurting out, interrupting, or dominating conversations.
Develop patience and turn-taking – Practice waiting, compromising, and handling moments when they don’t get their way.
Improve emotional regulation – Work on transitioning from screen time to family time with reduced frustration.
Build friendships in a virtual space – Foster connections in a safe environment to combat bullying, loneliness and improve self esteem.
Strengthen problem-solving and conflict resolution skills – Learn how to compromise instead of shutting down or destroying.
Support communication skills – Provide opportunities to practice verbal and non-verbal communication in a structured setting.

The Power of Play:

Minecraft's familiar world allows children to feel comfortable and engaged. Through collaborative gameplay, they learn valuable social skills like communication, teamwork, and problem-solving in a fun and natural way.

Building Confidence Brick by Brick:

Completing tasks and building friendships within the game fosters a sense of accomplishment and belonging, boosting your child's self-esteem and confidence. This newfound confidence empowers them to translate these skills into real-life interactions.

Natural Opportunities for Growth:

As they navigate the world of Minecraft, natural opportunities arise to discuss real-life challenges:

Working together to gather resources can spark conversations about anxiety and coping mechanisms.
Building a shelter together can open doors to discuss navigating social situations or feeling isolated.
Overcoming in-game obstacles can provide lessons in persistence and problem-solving for children with learning disabilities.

Parent Support Sessions:

Throughout the time your child is registered for the group, I offer parenting sessions where you can schedule family sessions with me to build on skills such as:

Managing a child who talks endlessly and how to reduce overstimulation.
Helping your child develop impulse control and reduce interruptions.
Supporting your child’s anxiety, OCD, or difficulty completing tasks independently.
Implementing strategies that can also be applied in school through a 504 Plan or IEP.
Encouraging speech development and alternative communication strategies for children with speech impediments or Tourette’s.

Flexible Participation:

I understand that every child is unique, and we all have our days. Your child can participate in discussions through audio only, or engage in both discussion and gameplay – the choice is theirs! This ensures a comfortable environment for growth, empowerment, and skill-building.

More Than Just a Game

Minecraft Therapy is more than just building structures and battling creepers. It’s a learning experience led by Victoria, a special education teacher and licensed therapist, who guides your child’s journey of social and emotional development. Through structured on-camera sessions and guided gameplay, your child will develop emotional regulation, communication skills, and real-world coping strategies that extend beyond the digital world.

This group focuses on creating a safe and supportive environment for children with ADHD, AuDHD, autism, OCD, Tourette’s, learning disabilities, speech impediments to safely come together, build friendships and self worth.

Here's How It Works

We meet on camera using weekly Google Meet calls (HIPAA compliant) for group discussions, ensuring active engagement and social interaction. Concurrently, children join a private Minecraft Bedrock server, which allows them to participate via iPad, mobile, console, or computer. The group is limited to 10 participants to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to engage and benefit from the session.

Sessions are held on Tuesday’s 4:30 – 5:30pm Eastern
