GoNDy — Grandparents of NeuroDiverse Youth
Grandparents are stepping into a bigger caregiving role than ever — including for neurodiverse grandchildren. But most grandparents never had the chance to learn what today's parents are learning. GoNDy, by In Clear Terms, is part education, part practice, and part support network: a space to reflect, connect, ask questions, and build practical skills alongside other grandparents who get it.
The problem, gently named
Today, more grandparents than ever are taking on a hands-on caregiving role — especially for grandchildren who are neurodiverse. But the world you parented in didn't teach you what today's parents are learning about ND kids. GoNDy gives you a space to:
On what you're seeing and feeling.
With other grandparents in the same boat.
The questions you haven't had anywhere to ask.
Practical, up-to-date strategies.
New skills in a supportive room.
Built for the people who show up for neurodivergent kids every day.
