Workshop: Post-Diagnosis Session for Parents Monday 23rd February, 10:00 AM – 12:30 PM (In-person at Twickenham Training Centre) Designed for parents and carers of recently diagnosed children, this workshop explores how ADHD impacts the brain and offers holistic strategies for managing the condition at home. It is a supportive space to meet others in similar situations and is highly recommended as a first step toward empowering your family following a diagnosis.
1-to-1 Advice Clinics Bookable Online (50-minute sessions) These tailored online sessions with a Family Support Worker offer dedicated advice for your specific family needs, followed by a detailed resource email. The clinics are heavily subsidised for Richmond and Kingston residents (£12.50) and are a brilliant way to get personalized support for your child's journey.
This workshop is for people who want to know more about EHCPs or think they may need to apply for an EHCP. Before joining the workshop please have a look at this information about EHCPs.
