The Autism & ADHD Advocates CIC is holding a whole-family online session today at 5.30 pm.
This session is for parents, carers, children and young people to attend together, so families can learn the same language and begin to understand each other better.
The session will focus on SEND, ADHD, executive functioning, emotions and everyday family challenges. They will talk about why some children and young people may struggle with things like organisation, attention, emotional regulation, waiting, change, sensory overwhelm and communication.
The aim is to help families reduce blame, arguments and misunderstandings by helping both parents and children understand what may be happening underneath the behaviour.
Children and young people do not have to speak or have their camera on. They can listen, draw, fidget, move around or take breaks if needed.

Finally! Entertainment on Big Weekender Sunday was varied and there was truly something for everyone!
Bands, Morris Dancers, Circus Skills, just to name a few.
Thanks to everyone who made it special, and to all the volunteers who work tirelessly to make it happen.

Sadly, the entertainers are not volunteers and to pay for them we need to raise money.
