DID YOU KNOW... 🤔

According to the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE), 1 in 20 school-age children and young people in the UK have ADHD.

This powerful statistic highlights just how common ADHD is and the crucial need for informed support and understanding in our schools and homes. Early identification and tailored strategies can make a massive difference.

If you have concerns about attention, focus, or hyperactivity, please reach out. We offer comprehensive assessments: https://www.educationalpsychologyservices.com/

Autism is not a disease or an illness that can be caught.

Dyslexia consists of so many more symptoms than you may think! This picture is a great explainer of the different way dyslexia can present in a child.

Most people think that dyslexia is about writing letters backwards (which is common for most children and isn’t just a dyslexic thing), but this image shows that dyslexia is about so much more than this.
Dyslexia can affect us and our feelings about it, in so many different ways.
We all feel differently about our dyslexia and you can probably add even more to the list!

Let's talk about a common misunderstanding we often hear: that people with autism are aggressive or violent. The truth is, that's a myth.

What can sometimes look like an aggressive outburst is actually a sign of intense distress. For a child with autism, the world can feel overwhelming, and what you're seeing might be a reaction to:

Sensory Overload: The lights might be too bright, the sounds too loud, or the feeling of a tag on their shirt is unbearable. Their body is trying to cope with a sensory system that's on high alert.

Communication Frustration: They might be trying to communicate a need, emotion, or thought but lack the words or ability to do so, leading to incredible frustration.

Overwhelming Situations: An unexpected change in routine or a social situation they don't understand can trigger a feeling of chaos that they don't know how to navigate.

These aren't acts of malice. They're a child's way of signalling that they need help. At Kiera Groves EPS, we're here to help families and schools understand these signals, so we can work together to provide compassionate support and effective strategies.

Every child deserves to be understood. ❤️

Your trust is everything to us. ❤️

When you consider an educational psychology assessment, one of the most important questions is often about confidentiality.

We want to assure you that a safe, trusting, and confidential environment is at the very heart of everything we do.

Our educational psychologists are bound by a strict professional code of ethics. This means:
All information shared during an assessment is kept completely confidential.
Your child's report will only be shared with your explicit consent.

This powerful quote beautifully illustrates something crucial for our children as they grow: learning to navigate their emotions. ❤️

As children develop, they experience a vast ocean of feelings – joy, frustration, sadness, excitement, anger, and everything in between. It's a natural part of growing up, but sometimes, these waves can feel overwhelming.

Supporting a child's emotional well-being is just as vital as supporting their academic growth.
Reach out to us if you have any questions or would like to learn more about how we can help your child thrive emotionally. 📧
