Task Management boards are a great way to let a child know what they need to do in a really visual way. Children with SLCN often have difficulties with language memory and find it hard to remember spoken instructions. Unlike spoken words, which disappear once uttered, these visuals remain on the board to remind them what to do next.
This resource allows all kinds of tasks and activities to be broken down into smaller steps, visually, supporting a child’s understanding of all the different things needed to complete them. The idea is that the child can ‘check off’ each step once it’s completed and get started on the next one independently.

'5-Point Scale'
Emotional regulation can be defined as the ability to separate your emotional responses to a problem from the thinking you must perform to resolve the problem. The 5-point scale is a visual system that can help to organize a person’s thinking when working through difficult moments, particularly those that require social understanding.

Having a conversation about our mental health is a normal and useful thing to do. It is estimated by the charity Mind that around 1 in 4 people will experience a mental health problem during the course of a year, and for 1 in 6 people they experience a common mental health problem in any given week. It is also important to recognise that we are a community of teachers, students and support staff, and a strong community is one that communicates well with one another. This page is designed to help you begin to explore available support, and to help structure conversations with teachers or peers.

It is also important to recognise that we are a community of teachers, students and support staff, and a strong community is one that communicates well with one another. This page is designed to help you begin to explore available support, and to help structure conversations with teachers or peers.
Personal Resilience
One of the first things to recognise is that even if you are feeling overwhelmed by your workload or by personal issues, there are plenty of times that you will have demonstrated resilience and coped with adverse situations. Reminding yourself and rewarding yourself for your own resilience is one way to manage the regular ups and downs of your life. You have shown that you can cope in a range of situations, and in fact you can be your own best helper at the first stage. Have a read through the following article on resilience training for students:
https://www.theguardian.com/teacher-network/2016/jan/12/science-resilience-how-to-teach-students-persevere Understanding Mental Health and Finding Help
If you believe that your own mental health needs have gone beyond self-management, reading self-help and so on, you can seek some more specialist advice through https://youngminds.org.uk/find-help/ or via the 'Booklets for young people' or 'Useful contacts' sections at https://www.mind.org.uk/information-support/guides-to-support-and-services/children-and-young-people/

Understanding mental health also means understanding when something has gone beyond a normal or typical experience. As an example, understanding anxiety is something most people can relate to. It is important to realise that anxiety is a normal physiological response to certain situations - a looming deadline or an overdue piece of work, an upcoming exam or driving test for example.

In some situations this can even be helpful, getting you to focus and work hard. However, an anxiety disorder is when you get anxious for a wide variety of reasons that are not typical for other people, or your stress-response becomes overwhelming (hyperventilating, crying, scratching yourself etc.). It is if you recognise elements from these more serious types of signs that you should look to find further help.
Approaching your teachers, peers or parents
Whilst a common trait with mental health issues is to bury or hide it inside, it is much healthier to have a conversation with a peer, friend, parent or a teacher. The hardest part is getting the conversation started.

You will frequently find that the response of the other person will remind you that there are those who care about and are interested in you, and will help you to see your way to managing the issues more clearly.

It can help to start with some more general terms such as:

"I've been having a bit of difficulty with..."
or
"I'm feeling quite low".

It may be useful to specify you would benefit from 5 minutes to have a quiet chat, when they are likely not to be distracted by other people or in a busy place. Once this is out in the open the conversation will become a two-way street and you will find it progresses more easily. Some useful resources and guidance on how to talk about mental health can be found at https://www.time-to-change.org.uk/talk-about-mental-health/telling-someone-about-your-mental-health-problem
Normalise the conversation
Remember that the more we talk about Mental Health in general and the more familiar we all become with the issues, the easier those conversations will be. Normalising discussion of mental health rather than treating it as taboo, or embarrassing, is of benefit to us all.

If, in the future, it happens to be you facing such challenges, the means of dealing with the problems and finding the right help should be more apparent and the conversations with others of more benefit.
Healthy Relationships
If you are concerned about your relationship or that of a friend, and suspect that it may be having a negative impact on emotional wellbeing, or even reach the extent of including emotional abuse, then explore the information found at www.safe-services.org.uk and talk to someone to express your concerns and feel less alone in confronting the problem.
Getting professional help
There is also a small capacity for a short course of one-to-one counselling available in school. You should speak to your Head of House or the Head of Sixth Form if you think you would benefit from this, or if you don't feel comfortable doing so, ask a parent or another teacher to talk to us on your behalf.

If you have a feeling that you need urgent help or that you feel so low, angry or upset that you have considered harming yourself, then the best way to get help quickly is by going to your GP and asking if they can refer you for support.

How Can Physical Activity Help My Mental Health?

There are many studies which have shown that doing physical activity can improve mental health. For example, it can help with:

better sleep - by making you feel more tired at the end of the day

happier moods - physical activity releases feel-good hormones that make you feel better in yourself and give you more energy

managing stress, anxiety or intrusive and racing thoughts - doing something physical releases cortisol which helps us manage stress. Being physically active also gives your brain something to focus on and can be a positive coping strategy for difficult times

How To Cope With Anxiety

Millions of years ago, we needed anxiety to keep us safe from danger. These days our bodies still try to protect us. We worry about different things that aren't always dangerous but our bodies still react in the same way. This is why you can feel anxious about things that aren't actually harmful.

Because anxiety is a normal reaction, it's sometimes hard to tell when it's becoming a problem for you. It can start as a simple worry but grow into a panic attack. If you have a lot on your mind then sometimes quite a small thing can bring on anxiety. Remember, anxiety is normal. And there are lots of ways to manage your anxiety. Childline have created this video " How to cope with Anxiety".

How to Deal With Loneliness and Isolation

You don't need to be physically alone or cut off to feel lonely. You might be surrounded by other people. But it can feel like you are on your own or that no one understands how you feel.

Loneliness can make us feel down. And if you feel like this, reach out to your parents/carers/tutor/Head of House or if you do not feel comfortable talking to someone you know contact Childline. Childline have created a video which provides strategies to help with loneliness and isolation.

Parenting a child with additional needs can be daunting and feel overwhelming . Many parents report that they receive a diagnosis and are left to fend for themselves, others are at the start of the diagnostic pathway, and some are unsure whether there is a reason to be concerned about some traits their young person may be displaying. We understand this frustration and feeling of loss and desperation. We also understand the achievements and feelings of hope and elation when things go well.

We are currently running the following programmes to help you at differing stages:

Beginning the autism journey, funded by KCC Early Help grant.

Support for families/carers who have a young person not yet diagnosed with autism and who live in the Sittingbourne or Sheppey area of Kent.

Running until April 2021, a waiting list may operate in times of high demand.

Participants are entitled to up to 4 sessions with ourselves, dependent on need (established in the first appointment).

Supporting the autism family, funded by The National Lottery Community Fund & Government as part of the Coronavirus Community Fund.

Intensive support for families/carers who have a young person diagnosed or on the pathway to diagnosis of autism spectrum condition. Participants must live in the Swale, Maidstone or Thanet areas of Kent.

6 weeks of support from ourselves and Mid Kent Mind, 2 appointments each week.

Completely booked.

Coming soon - Out of office hours appointments

We are currently holding clinics via Zoom or telephone call.
Please contact us info@autismapprentice.co.uk to book an appointment or telephone us 03000 110 300 *** All face to face clinics are currently suspended due to Covid-19 ***

Many thanks to the following for supporting our advice clinics:
