I’m 40 years old, have two grown up children now; my son is 20 and currently studying at University and my daughter is 17 (almost 18) and a very talented writer and artist! I am fully qualified SENCO & Assistant Headteacher with over 13 years teaching experience. My daughter is neurodiverse (ASD and ADHD), meaning I’ve gained a wealth of knowledge and experience from the challenges and barriers we have faced throughout her educational journey! 😩 Feeling as though you are constantly battling with professionals to ensure adequate provision and support for your child! 😴 Tired of the struggles associated with EHCP’s or requesting assessment from Educational Psychologists and other specialist practitioners. 😔 Disappointed when people just don’t understand: “She looks fine to me!” “She’s really good and quiet in school!” “We don’t see any of those behaviours!” 😭 Exhausted with constantly feeling as though you are fighting a losing battle! I would like to grow this community, and create a sanctuary for parents and carers facing similar challenges! I am aiming to post helpful content and tailor personalised advice, guidance and support for struggling parents/carers, depending on individual needs and circumstances. My big goal is to eventually offer online courses, templates, bespoke consultations, and whatever else might be required - who knows? 😬🙏🥰 Thank you for taking the time to read my extensive brain dump 🤯🫣😂 oh, I forgot to mention… I was diagnosed with combined type ADHD about 2-3 years ago 🧠 🙈😂😂😂 My life makes sense now, and I think ADHD can be a superpower 🦸‍♀️ and a curse 🫣 however, we can save that for another day 😬😂 If you have any questions or ideas, please feel free to reach out 😊
