The Breaking Down Barriers course is ideal for parent/carers and relatives, who have either recently received a diagnosis, or who would like to learn more about Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and/or Autistic Spectrum Conditions (ASC). Over seven sessions, this interactive and practical course will give you a comprehensive insight into your child’s condition, your legal rights as a parent/carer and how to manage the often challenging behaviours the ASC and ADHD can cause.
You will build upon your existing strengths and learn new strategies to improve your child’s self-esteem and enhance your family relationships
Workshops
We run regular workshops designed to increase the knowledge and skill base of parent/carers, making it easier to understand their child’s conditions’ and help support them.

1-2-3 Magic is one of the leading child behaviour management programmes in the world. Designed by a child psychologist, with kids who have ASC and ADHD, it aims to help a parent control difficult behaviour, encourage good behaviour, strengthen family relationships and build self-esteem. Working on the theory the “discipline in your house should not be negotiable” it puts you back in control of your child’s behaviour.
Education SEND & EHCP Support
With the 2014 changes to the Law relating to education, the abolition of statements and the introduction of Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs) it is now more important than ever that parents fully understand their legal rights as well as the obligations of their child’s school.
Our Independent Support Officer has assisted numerous parents and schools with EHCP applications. We would be happy to answer any questions you may have about the process, timelines, evidence and the appeals system.
