HAVEN
Parent & Home Support
What happens at school doesn’t always stay at school. Difficulties with learning, organization, attention, independence or regulation can affect routines, homework, relationships and everyday family life.
HAVEN helps you understand what may be happening underneath those patterns and create practical support at home that fits your child and your family.
The HAVEN Framework
H
HEAR WHAT’S HAPPENING
Start with what everyday life actually looks like for your child and family and where things are becoming difficult.
A
ASK WHAT’S UNDERNEATHÂ
Look beyond the behavior or struggle to consider what skills, demands or experiences might be driving it.
V
VIEW THE WHOLE PICTURE
Connect what is happening at school, at home and across existing supports so the different pieces work together.
E
EXPLORE WHAT WORKS
Find practical routines, systems, supports and approaches that fit your child and your family.
N
NORMAL: FIND YOUR FAMILY’S NORMAL
Build sustainable rhythms, expectations and ways of doing things that work for your family rather than trying to fit someone else’s version of normal.

Help connect what you are learning about your child at school with routines, strategies and support at home so the different pieces work together.
Supporting Connection & Independence
Find ways to support your child while protecting the parent-child relationship, building confidence and gradually encouraging greater independence.
