Our school-based services offer support and guidance for pupils and staff in the areas of neurodiversity and emotional well-being.
Our Group Support services provide an opportunity for you, or your child or young person, to learn in the company of others who may be experiencing similar challenges. This is the perfect way to access support from others who know what you’re going through, reducing that feeling of isolation while making the learning experience more engaging, dynamic and fun. These group sessions range from 1.5hr discovery sessions that will give you a taster of a particular topic, to longer weekly group sessions that allow us to delve deeper into the topic and to work with you, or your child, to learn the skills to really make a difference in your child’s life. Topics cover a wide range of areas including Autism, ADHD, Anxiety & OCD and Emotional Well-Being.
Our Professional Training services include school-based consultation and workshops from Early Years to Secondary Level Education. Our School-Based packages range from 1/2 day group workshops to individualized ongoing consultation within one setting.

Our 1.5hr Discovery Sessions are designed to give you some initial knowledge of a topic and some guidance on understanding and dealing with that challenge. We also always welcome your ideas on topics that would be of benefit to you and your child. A list of scheduled and upcoming Discovery Sessions can be obtained by contacting us through any of the ‘contact us’ buttons on the website or our contact page.

Our weekly Enhanced Learning Sessions are an extension of the Discovery Sessions (although it is not a prerequisite to have attended one) which allow a deep-dive into a topic with expert-led sessions. These sessions are available for you, your child, and for anyone who is involved in their lives who would like a deeper understanding of the challenges they face and how to support them. A list of scheduled and upcoming Enhanced Learning Sessions is available by contacting us through the website, on social media or by signing up to our newsletter.
As children and young people spend so much of their time in early years and educational settings, we believe it is just as important to support children and the staff who are caring for and teaching them in those settings. We provide staff group training workshops and setting specific consultation trainings from Early Years to secondary level. We also provide a range of fun, dynamic and interactive workshops for students that allow for class-wide learning relating to emotional well-being, development and neurodiversity. If you feel this would be valuable for your staff and/or students please contact us for more details.

These sessions involve weekly group workshops, usually over 4-6 weeks, that allow us to delve deeper into a topic. While the Discovery Session covers some basic understanding of a topic, the longer Enhanced Learning Sessions go into more detail, allowing you to relate the information directly to your own experience. You’ll engage in groupwork and interactive activities, putting your newfound knowledge into practice. Weekly assignments will enhance your learning even further.
While we do not provide accredited training towards becoming a behaviour therapist we can certainly assist you in gaining the necessary experience in this area. Many of the families we work with on Focused and Comprehensive 1:1 models, particularly in the area of autism, employ behaviour therapists to work with their child. All necessary training is provided by ACT to Connect once you find a position. Please just get in touch and let us know of your interest and we can guide your next steps.
