C 2e Kids Thrive Membership

WHO IS THE MEMBERSHIP FOR? 

The membership is for focused parents that have children that are twice-exceptional (high level cognitive abilities/talents-e.g. very bright or gifted & a neurodivergence &/or learning challenges such as autism, ADHD, stealth dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, auditory processing disorder, visual processing disorder, anxiety, etc).
