- Your child needs freedom, choice, and flexibility to learn - or they'll refuse.
- They're recognised as PDA, ADHD, neurodivergent or simply strong-willed, spirited, and determined to do things their own way!
- School isn't the right fit, but 'homeschool' doesn't work and 'unschooling' leaves you all drifting...
- You’re out of ideas or energy or both!
- You love seeing your child curious & engaged - and you're desperate to see more of it.
The Low-Demand Learning Pack respects that adult-led education has value AND that some children need to be in charge of their learning to feel safe and thrive. It gives you ways to invite your child to explore new topics and concepts, while never forcing or coercing them – because that’s a recipe for disaster!
Suitable for ages 4-12
Hi! I’m Saskia, a neurodivergent home-educating mum of three who gets it – some kids need full autonomy to learn, and for us home-educating parents, that can be… interesting! Having tried (and failed) at various approaches, The Low-Demand Learning Pack is a mix of tips & tools we use to make home learning work for our busy-brained, autonomy-needing family.
Because this pack is available to access instantly, your 14-day ‘right to cancel’ ends once you start the download. However, if you open the pack and aren’t relieved by the wealth of ideas to try with your child, you can ask for a full refund within 3-days of purchase.

Finances should never be a barrier to getting the right support for your child. If your family would benefit from this pack but you are unable to afford it, please get in touch with the subject ‘Low Income Access Request’ and you will be sent a copy free of charge. No questions asked.
How do I access this?
After purchase, you will be able to download the pack as a .zip file. Inside you will find a collection of PDF files, some of which include links to editable Canva templates.
You will also be sent a receipt to your email, which includes the download link for future reference.
Is this resource digital or physical?
The Low-Demand Learning Pack is a digital resource with printable elements. Some of the resources you might like to have printed so they’re on-hand without needing your phone, but they can also be referred to digitally if you prefer.
If you don’t have access to a printer, you can take some of the printable ideas and recreate the prompts by hand as-and-when you want to use them.
Is this a curriculum?
No. This pack was designed to provide a bundle of ideas, tips, tools and inspiration you can dip in-and-out of whenever you feel like it. It is not a curriculum or a step-by-step programme. It’s much more flexible!
This pack would be a brilliant resource for thinking about how you could make other curriculums more accessible to a child who requires autonomy and novelty.
What age is this pack for?
The Low-Demand Learning Pack features a mix of ideas and tools suitable for ages 4-12+ (depending on your child). It’s incredibly flexible as it provides starting points which meet your children where they are – whatever their age. For example, a Curiosity Card encouraging Engineering will prompt a very different level of interaction and conversation depending on the age of the child using it.
The included ‘Skill-boosting Screentime’ guide (with a topic-based video game directory) includes games for a mix of ages too.
Will this work for PDA, ADHD & neurodivergent kids?
This pack was designed specifically with PDA & ADHD/AuDHD children in mind. However, all children are unique, especially when there’s neurodivergence and burnout in the mix. What might work one day, won’t necessarily work another – but the resources are designed to give you flexible ideas to revisit as needs and interests change.
The intention of The Low-Demand Learning Pack is that you have tips and tools on-hand to try when dysregulation is low and your children are open to having hands-on, curious fun in short bursts.
What if my child refuses to do anything that feels like learning?
I get it! This resource was created specifically for children who struggle to engage with anything they deem ‘educational’. The ideas and tools inside invite learning through play, autonomy, curiosity, hands-on fun and even video games – so learning feels natural and novel, not enforced.
What does “low-demand” mean?
“Low-Demand” is a term commonly used in the neurodivergent community, particularly when discussing approaches for those with PDA (’pathological demand avoidance’ or ‘a pervasive drive for autonomy’). Individuals with PDA experience an anxiety reaction to demands/expectations, and therefore a low-demand approach lowers the amount of demands placed on them. “Low-demand learning” is an approach where being “told what to do” is kept to a minimum, and autonomy and choice are key.
My child gets bored easily - will this help with that?
Yes! This pack was created for children who are highly sensory and stimulation seeking. Children who need fun, novelty and hands-on engagement to stay interested! The resources also open-ended, in that they can be used for however long they can manage.
My child hates writing - will that matter?
Nope! This pack was developed to support children who struggle with written work and instead favour hands-on experimentation, creativity, sensory-fun and… screens! It does also include writing prompts to encourage writing skills in those who are reluctant.
