At Momenta Connect, we support young people to overcome barriers and engage with education.

🎉 Celebrating International Day of Education.

For some children, education becomes hard because of anxiety, unmet needs or emotional overwhelm. Without the right support, barriers can grow quickly.

Momenta Connect works alongside families and schools to support children at different points in their education journey. This might include assessment, therapeutic support, alternative provision or help taking steady steps back into learning. 🤗

Every child’s path looks different. What matters is having support that meets them where they are and that's where we can help.

What does emotionally safe reintegration actually mean? 🤔

It means helping a child return to school at a pace that feels manageable. Rather than rushing back to full days, it focuses on small, predictable steps that reduce anxiety and help confidence build over time.

This often includes gradual increases in attendance, consistent routines, trusted adults supporting transitions and regular check ins to understand how a child is coping before expectations change. See how we help below 👇

If your child is finding returning to school difficult, you do not have to navigate it alone.

What happens when a child is not ready to return to school yet, but still needs connection, routine and learning?

Our live online learning 💻 alongside therapeutic and attendance support with our reintegration coaches helps children stay connected to education while their confidence is rebuilt.

Our approach creates a safe, structured bridge until returning feels possible. Support is paced, joined up and centred around what the child can manage now, with next steps 👣 planned carefully and collaboratively.

If your child is struggling to return and needs support, we are here to help.

⏰ Long waiting times for autism and ADHD assessments leave many children and families in limbo.

In a new blog for SEND Network, our Clinical Director Kieran Lord explores how schools and services can better support children while they are waiting for diagnosis.

The focus is on acting early, responding to need rather than labels and closing the gap during long periods of uncertainty.

In the January issue of Education Today, Emma Sanderson, Managing Director of Momenta Connect, reflects on the rise in suspensions and exclusions and what can be done earlier to prevent them.

In this article Emma explores:
✅ Why exclusion should be seen as an early warning sign
✅ Disproportionate impact on pupils with SEND, care experience and disadvantage
✅ How early intervention and relational support can reduce escalation
✅ The importance of keeping children connected to education

A worthwhile read for anyone working to create safer, more inclusive school systems.

Does your child feel overwhelmed in busy classrooms or noisy environments?

For some children, especially those with sensory needs or anxiety, large spaces can feel unpredictable and exhausting. A calmer learning space can make a huge difference to how safe and settled they feel. 🤗

In a Momenta Inclusion Hub, the environment is designed to reduce overload, support regulation and help children reconnect with learning at their own pace.

When children feel safe in their environment, their confidence grows and learning becomes possible again. A calmer space is not about stepping back. It is about giving children what they need so they can move forward. 👣

If you're wondering whether a quieter space could help your child, we're here to support you.

If your child struggles to get out of the house in the morning, you're not alone. 🧡

For many children experiencing school anxiety or emotionally based school avoidance, mornings are when their nervous system is under the most pressure.

What looks like refusal is often a sign that their body feels unsafe, overwhelmed or unable to cope with the demands ahead. 💭

Understanding the “why” can open the door to the right kind of support. It isn’t about forcing attendance. It’s about helping your child feel safer, calmer and more able to face the day.

If your child is waiting for an autism or ADHD assessment, the New Year can feel like a challenging time.

Routines are only just returning, emotions can still feel big, and many children are adjusting after several weeks of change.

👀 See below for three ideas that can help while you wait.

Waiting for clarity can feel heavy, but small steps can make this time easier for both you and your child. And you don't have to manage it alone. 💜

Scott* was 14 when school became too much.

Noise, busy spaces and the pressure to keep up left him overwhelmed. Friendships were hard, and he no longer felt he belonged. 💔

When he moved to a new setting, the team took time to understand what was underneath. They found communication difficulties, high anxiety and emotional overload that had been missed for years.

Scott’s story below is a reminder that behaviour is often a sign of distress, not defiance. And with the right help, things can change. ❤️‍🩹
