Connections in Mind

23/02/2026

The CODE Education is a valued education partner of Connections in Mind.

They focus on what actually helps children learn and retain information.

If your child is revising by rereading notes, highlighting everything in sight and hoping it sticks, they’re not alone. But the research is clear: that’s not what works.

Evidence consistently shows that active retrieval, spaced practice and low-stakes testing significantly improve long-term retention. Students using retrieval questions achieve dramatically stronger results than those relying on passive revision.

As exam season approaches, understanding what genuinely works can reduce stress and build confidence, especially for children who struggle with focus, overwhelm or executive function challenges.

That’s why The CODE EDUCATION has written their latest evidence-informed blog:

👉 How to Revise Effectively: The Evidence Behind What Actually Works

And the The CODE team will be presenting a FREE live webinar:

🎓 Revision Survival: Ask the Questions You Really Want Answered
📅 Wednesday 18th March | 7pm

This session is shaped around real parent questions, practical, supportive and grounded in executive function science.

Revision Survival: Ask the Questions You Really Want Answered

Revision can feel overwhelming, for students and for parents trying to support them. With so much advice out there, it’s hard to know what actually helps and what simply adds to the stress.

For this free webinar, we’re doing something a little different.

For the first time, Revision Survival will be a bespoke session, shaped around the questions you want answered. When you register, you’ll be invited to share the revision challenges you’re facing, and our expert panel will build the session around those real concerns.

We’ll also:

✔ Bust common revision myths
✔ Share what research tells us actually works
✔ Explore practical strategies for motivation, focus and overwhelm
✔ Talk about how parents can stay calm and supportive during revision

This session is supportive, evidence-based, and designed to help you leave feeling clearer, more confident, and better equipped to support your child.

Struggling with revision or know a young person who is?

During school breaks, many students sit down fully intending to revise… but just can’t get going or stay focused. That’s not laziness - it’s how the brain works under pressure.

This half term, we’re running supervised revision sessions led by an Executive Function Coach. Each session provides a calm, structured space where students can set clear goals, work independently, and stay on track, without parents needing to monitor or remind.

📅 16–20 February (half term)�
⏰ Morning & afternoon sessions�
💻 Online, small groups, coach present throughout

If revision has been a battle, this could really help.

Why Traditional Admin Help Fails Neurodivergent Brains 🧠

You’re capable, experienced and committed, so why does hiring admin support often make things harder, not easier?

If you have ADHD, autism, or executive function challenges, the problem isn’t effort or ability.�It’s that traditional models of support weren’t designed for how your brain works under pressure.

In this free live webinar, we’ll explore:

* Why executive function differences affect how support actually lands
* Why overwhelm, decision fatigue and “freezing” derail delegation
* What https://tinyurl.com/4uy8eznd, brain-aware support really looks like
* How to offload admin without increasing your mental load
* The difference between managing a PA and feeling genuinely supported

This session is for founders, freelancers, creatives and professionals who’ve tried support before and thought, “Maybe I’m just the problem.”

Why traditional office support often fails neurodivergent professionals 🧠

From the outside, it looks like you’re coping.
�Inside, your brain has 17 tabs open and nothing is getting finished.

If admin help has ever made things worse instead of easier, it’s not you.�It’s a support mismatch.

"I thought I was losing my mind. Turns out, it was my hormones and my neurodivergence colliding.”

You’re not imagining it.

Brain fog, overwhelm, mood swings, and memory lapses are real — and for neurodivergent women, menopause can magnify them all.

Studies show up to 70% of women experience cognitive changes during peri-menopause — but for those with ADHD or autism, the impact can feel life-altering.

Understanding what’s happening biologically helps us replace shame with strategy — and isolation with support.

Did you know oestrogen plays a major role in attention, motivation, and mood regulation?

When it drops during peri-menopause, neurodivergent women often experience intensified executive function challenges — from brain fog to emotional overwhelm.

This under-discussed overlap between neurodivergence and menopause affects thousands of women every day.

💬 Read our latest blog to learn what’s really happening in the brain — and how to find support through “The Change.”

Did you know? Hormonal change can intensify neurodivergent traits.

Research shows that falling oestrogen levels during peri-menopause directly affect dopamine and serotonin, the very chemicals that support focus, memory, and mood regulation.

For neurodivergent adults, that can mean:

More forgetfulness and brain fog
Increased emotional swings
Difficulty keeping routines
Heightened sensory sensitivities

Yet, most women are never told this.

It’s time to change that conversation.
