The CSS Model: A Psycho-educational resource for Clinicians for Neurodivergent Children & Teens.
Updated: Oct 7

Are you a clinician looking for further resource on how to help neurodivergent children & teens?
The CSS Model was designed as a practical lens to help clinicians, parents and educators understand the hidden demands behind everyday tasks for neurodivergent children and teens. Rather than interpreting their behaviour as "lazy" "defiant" or "avoidance" the CSS model helps us to decode what is really going on across three invisible domains.
COGNITIVE
CHEMICAL
SENSORY
A great resource to use as a pathway to understanding what might be happening under the surface of various behaviours. Because neurodiverse brains are wired differently - the approach must be tailored for these and adapted for optimal clinical supports.
The best news is, we have a new arrival in our online shop outlining all this - in PDF print ready format.
Designed by Clinical Psychologist and Founder Amelia Read - who combines years of clinical research with her own lived experience lens. This 10-page guide is now available for sale in downloadable, digital format from our web shop!
