Parent & Caregiver Support Stack
For parents, carers, and family members supporting a neurodivergent person — including those who are neurodivergent themselves
This is a complete, step-by-step AI workflow you can set up yourself. Each step names the tool, explains exactly what it does for you, and shows what it costs. Work through them in order, or take only the steps that fit.
The 6-step stack

1
ChatGPT (research & advocacy) →
Understanding: Ask ChatGPT to explain any diagnosis, EHCP process, SEND tribunal rights, or educational accommodation in plain language. Invaluable for navigating systems designed for professionals.

2
Grammarly (letters & emails) →
Advocacy letters: Use ChatGPT to draft letters to schools, doctors, and local authorities, then polish with Grammarly. Many families report better responses when communications are clearly and professionally worded.
