✨The “real” back to school for a neurodivergent child✨

Back to school can feel very different depending on your perspective.

For many neurodivergent children, it isn’t just about new shoes or pencil cases , it’s about navigating a world that feels louder, brighter and more demanding than home.
👕 Uniforms can feel uncomfortable.
💡 Classrooms can be filled with dazzling light.
🔊 Noise in corridors and lunch halls can feel overwhelming.
🚪 Transitions from the safety of home to the busy school environment can be a daily challenge.

And for parents, it can be heart-wrenching to watch your child carry these emotions , wanting nothing more than for them to feel understood and supported.

💭 At SENsational Minds, we offer coaching and mentoring sessions to help neurodivergent children build strategies, confidence and calm. Sessions can take place in school or at our Chill Out Centre — a safe, supportive space designed with children and young people in mind.

📅 Coaching is flexible: weekly, bi-weekly or monthly , whatever works best for your child and family.
✨ We’re offering 20% off all new bookings made in September and October (full details on our website).

Because every child deserves to feel that school is a place where they don’t just cope… but truly thrive. 🌈

logo at SENsational Minds isn’t just a beautiful image, it’s a message.

Trees in nature thrive through diversity. They adapt, evolve, and grow in all shapes, sizes, and colours. Just as forests are made up of a rich tapestry of trees, shrubs and plants our human world is filled with diverse minds, experiences, and ways of being.

At SENsational Minds, the tree symbolises neurodiversity- the natural and valuable variation in how our brains work. The colours represent the spectrum of lived experiences we see in the people we support: from Autism to ADHD, Dyslexia to Dyspraxia , every branch matters.

Together, we all belong to the same forest.
🌿
No one left behind. No one expected to change who they are.

Just supported to grow, exactly as they are meant to.
