New ADHD Support Service launched for Leicestershire Residents!

Heads Up Leicester

NEW Support Service launched for Leicestershire County Residents!

Our ADHD Parent/Carer Support Service has been commissioned by Leicestershire County Council and is for families living in the boroughs and districts in the County (not the City of Leicester or Rutland). Parents and Carers of young people under 19 can get support at any stage of their child or young person's ADHD journey - whether they are just starting to consider whether their child may have ADHD, if they are on an assessment waiting list or if they have been diagnosed. Families who are not seeking a diagnosis are welcome.

Family life can be challenging! Our workshops aim to help families understand more about ADHD and how they can apply this knowledge to real life struggles so they can thrive. Our monthly peer support groups encourage families to connect with others on their ADHD journey.

You don't need to be referred by a professional, you can register for support as a parent. Follow this link to find out more about each element of the service, to register for a workshop or join our mailing list to be the first to hear more.

We would be ever so grateful for likes and shares of this post so we can make sure it reaches the families who might benefit. 💚

This week, a teacher shared feedback about a pupil independently using interoception awareness skills from OT sessions to recognise how their body was feeling and apply a strategy in a real life classroom moment to support self-regulation.

Seeing these skills transfer beyond the therapy space and into everyday life is exactly why this work matters 💜🧡🩵🩷

Who’s loving a snow day? ❄☃

Whether it’s snowman building, crunchy snow walks, sledging, or just watching the flakes fall from a cosy window, snow days are full of brilliant sensory experiences 🌨️✨

Movement, fresh air, heavy work, and a bit of cold input can be wonderfully regulating for lots of children, and let’s be honest… they’re pretty fun for grown-ups too!

If you’ve been out enjoying the snow today, we’d love to see it ❄️

📸 Comment below or send us a DM with your snow day fun!

Stay warm, stay safe, and enjoy every flake 🤍

✨Wishing everyone a very happy new year ✨

As we head into the new term, a gentle reminder that transitions can feel big for some children. A little patience, communication, and sensory support can make a real difference 🤍

Our therapists are returning to work today and will begin to follow up with enquiries and new bookings over the next few days.

Thank you for your patience, we received a high volume of enquiries in the lead up to Christmas and will be working through these as quickly as possible 😊

As we come to the end of the year, we want to say a huge thank you to everyone who has supported Petals Therapy throughout 2025. It truly has been our biggest year yet!

This year saw the introduction of our Speech and Language Therapy services, with Cheryl joining the team in February and Alexandra coming on board in September. Alongside this, our Occupational Therapy service has continued to develop and grow, with Nicola and myself providing support across schools and families throughout the year.

We’ve also been incredibly lucky to welcome many new families and to build new partnerships with schools, something we are very grateful for.

As we reach the end of a long Autumn term, we will now be closing completely for the Christmas break, allowing our wonderful team some very well-deserved rest and time with their loved ones.

🎄 𝑾𝒆 𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒏𝒐𝒘 𝒄𝒍𝒐𝒔𝒆𝒅 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒘𝒊𝒍𝒍 𝒓𝒆𝒐𝒑𝒆𝒏 𝒐𝒏 𝑴𝒐𝒏𝒅𝒂𝒚 5𝒕𝒉 𝑱𝒂𝒏𝒖𝒂𝒓𝒚 🎄

Wishing you all a very merry Christmas break, however that may look for you. Thank you again for being part of our journey, we can’t wait to work with you all in the New Year.

💗

Maybe the Grinch wasn’t grumpy at all… maybe Christmas was just a lot for his sensory systems 💚

Bright lights, busy environments, loud music and changes in routine can feel overwhelming for many children and young people, especially at this time of year.

Small adjustments, choice and understanding can make a huge difference.

Start by asking what they need, and when words are hard, offer gentle, sensory-supportive options instead.

Christmas doesn’t have to look the same for everyone, and that’s okay. 🎄✨
