Am I right?! So frustrating!!!! Bite my tounge such a lot!

One of the things I think is massively missing in support for Parents / Carers with children who have ASD/ADHD/PDA is having someone to just vomit a load of behaviour strategies onto us so that we can pick out what we think may work and not work with our children. NOT textbook ideas such as CONSISTENCY/ REWARD CHARTS / BEDTIME ROUTINE - these don’t cut it for our children alone but lots of ideas that work! So that we can create our own recipe of intervention that is bespoke to our child (what works for my child likely won’t work for yours). That’s why I created it! A PDA / ASD/ ADHD digital download full of behaviour strategies that help to create your own bespoke recipe that you can use at home but also in schools in meetings. Also, bespoke family support sessions to discuss all you have tried that doesn’t work so as a team we can find something that does! My speciality and experience is behaviour support strategies and parental well-being - I have worked for the LA and in schools with behaviour management and family support but also more importantly have 3 ND children myself.

For many children with ASD/ADHD/PDA to get to this point (an apology later in the day or the following day) is usually an intervention in itself (because somehow it will always be your fault and not theirs 🙈) but once you manage to get here - you are half way there! Once you are here it’s a sign to move forward to teaching regulation within dis regulated moments - if you wish like to talk about violence / aggression with someone who genuinely understands ( I am a professional but also a mum to 2 PDA children) then check out the link in bio and book a 1:1 family support session where we can look at behaviour management strategies that really work. Yes - I have filtered through all those mainstream misconceptions and text book rubbish that just does not work, leaving you with strategies that are really working with the families I currently work with.

Feeling the love 💜 If you wish to talk to someone about behaviour management strategies at home or at school for children with ASD/ADHD/PDA or just need to vent without a filter about the frustrations or exhaustions of parenting neuro diverse children - I am here 💜 links in bio!

Don’t let meetings divert from neuro diverse need onto behaviour. Empower yourself today and know what adjustments really could be put in place and which ones to request. Of course this digital download is inclusive for ASD/ADHD too - Find the PDA digital download - link in bio!

On the one hand we are told to get that diagnosis / that piece of paper to prove ourselves but on the other hand the wait is so many years (if accepted) that a child’s educational years can be missed. No such thing as early intervention anymore. So don’t wait …. Use behaviour strategies that work with ASD/ADHD/PDA (yes all that mainstream crap has been filtered out), put together your care plan (similar to an EHCP) - I can do that for you and then hold mainstream accountable (while on all those wait lists).

You’re so good at those sensory circuits and regulation zones with your child at 11pm - nope that’s self abandonment ( I actually need sleep and regulation of my own). 🤣

Avoid / Defend / Explain but let’s not discuss the concerns parents being our way. It’s like dealing with the men I choose 🙈

and yet the comments are usually …. Home educate then!

Well to home educate means leaving a parents job. It means paying for classes. It means taking a financial strain. It means leaving familiar faces and routines. It means changing the parent / child relationship to teacher / child relationship. In some cases it doesn’t suit some children / families. Especially if the child’s main difficulties are emotional and social rather than educational. My son loves his learning for example (and his teacher) but he still has needs that can’t be met 😢

Fun fact - I also do home educate my daughter. For some children it’s necessary.

BUT parents are being forced into home education due to reasonable adaptations just not being put in place. Simple, small adjustment’s.

Funding! I know it’s non existent.
School staff we know it’s not your fault (before you come at me in the comments). But remember it’s not parents fault either and it’s still happening.
It’s not us versus you - it’s just us sharing a need that has huge consequences on a child’s life.
That’s okay.
You would if it were your child too.
