Hi Everyone,

ADDvanced Solutions are running a family learning programme that starts next Wednesday (7^th June) 6:30-8:30pm via Zoom. It is the first of 6 sessions that will be ran at the same time each week. No diagnosis is needed.

The programme provides an opportunity for parents and carers to gain understanding and skills about neurodevelopmental conditions including autism and ADHD (pre, during and post diagnosis) with strategies to support the difficulties that may present. Topics covered during the sessions include:

– Neurodevelopmental conditions/learning difficulties and associated mental health difficulties
– Autism Spectrum Disorder/Condition
– Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
– Sensory Processing/Integration Difficulties (SPD)
– Supporting behaviours associated with ND conditions
– Your local offer, welfare rights and special educational support

Parents need to sign up to access the programme via this link: Webinar Registration – Zoom

Please find some new information below about services available for grandparents which is available from the ADHD Foundation who are working  in partnership with Positive Futures.  The ADHD Foundation have received lottery funding to work specifically with Grandparents and SGOs to help them support any of the children or young people in their care who are Neurodiverse (with or without a diagnosis).

Support is through a number of avenues including skills building workshops around ADHD, ASD and generic behaviour support.   The aim is to reach and support as many families as possible over the next 18 months, and where appropriate providing intense support through one to one advice and support.

Another avenue is to provide support material around understanding and supporting ADHD. In addition to the Parent/ Carer Skills building webinars.
