The Togetherness SEND Approach to parenting looks at a range of strategies to enhance parent/child relationships, designed to encourage a reflective style of parenting that leads to more sensitive and effective parenting for a child who is neurodiverse.

Our sessions include …

• How do you know what you and your child are feeling?

• Tuning in to your child’s developmental needs.

• Having fun together- The importance of play.

• Self-regulation.

• Sleep and anger.

• Different styles of parenting.

• How to recover when things go wrong.

As well as many other areas.

We explore these areas by supporting parents to look at the world as your child may view it, with a very sensory approach, breaking down the senses and what being sensory means and how this in turn impacts on the session areas. From understanding this we can begin to develop a greater understanding of how your child develops while also supporting their complex needs and in turn create a more Intune parent/child relationship.

Did you know that we offer TENS Machines

TENS may also be useful while you're at home in the early stages of labour or if you plan to give birth at home. TENS is believed to work by stimulating the body to produce more of its own natural painkillers, called endorphins. It also reduces the number of pain signals sent to the brain by the spinal cord.

TENS machines can be hired for a 4 week period at a cost of £10 for hire and £10 deposit. Please contact our children centres for availability.

CASH ONLY PLEASE.

Pathways introduce ideas to expand your caring 'toolkit' to respond to different behaviours and help raise thriving children.

The pathways for teens explain how brain development impacts how we feel and behave. Follow 'for teenagers only' pathways for private, self-paced
learning.

Testimonials

'This course has been an absolutely invaluable gift to me. It has and will change so many aspects of my life. I am undoubtedly a better parent and a more rounded and fulfilled person as a result. I WISH I'd known all this years ago.'

Learner

Understanding your child: from toddler to teenager

​'My 15-year-old watched the sensory video clips. He identified his brother's behaviour in some of them but very much saw himself. He commented, 'Mum, that's me, and that's why I do what I do!'. He asked me for the link for the clips and sent them to his friend, who had been calling him weird, so he could understand him better. He also opened up to his friendship group about his autism and can talk to them about what it is like to be him.'

Parent

Understanding your child with additional needs

'A very easy-to-understand way of putting things, and no longer will I fight against things that I can not change due to biology.'

Teenager

Understanding your brain (for teenager's only)
