For commissioners

Working in partnership with commissioners and funders, we develop a bespoke model, combining expert training with ongoing practical support designed to meet the needs of children, young people, their families and the professionals who work with them.

What we can offer for young people

Parents and carers feedback on our learning programme...

sometimes, when you are at home, I think you feel a bit isolated, a bit like..is anyone else dealing with the same issues? So its good to see everyone else's perspective really and how they deal with things and gain strategies from them as well.

I have learned a lot of coping strategies coming here so I would definitely recommend ADDvanced Solutions for that. But knowledge is power and knowing more about it definitely makes you more able to cope with it and deal with it.

It's opened my mind to the range of things that children may display and you may not notice certain things or you may recognise other things in your children.

What we can offer parents and carers

Community Network Groups (Face to face and online)

These are weekly, solution focussed, open access, drop in sessions to support families pre, during, post & no diagnosis. Each week we deliver short & informal workshops on different subjects. There’s no need to book, families are welcome to come along and meet other families in similar situations to share learning and experiences.

IAG - phone, email and Facebook Messenger support

During office hours, parents and carers can contact the team for support, advice and information around any challenges they might be facing, they will be given strategies or signposted to the most appropriate learning opportunity, local offer or service.

What we can offer professionals

Professional Learning Workshops (CPD accredited)

Our training will improve professionals’ understanding of neurodiversity and covers its many conditions, including Autism and ADHD, how they may present and how one condition may overlap with another. Professionals attending this training will develop knowledge, skills and confidence to better support families with needs around neurodiversity, who may also be living with specific learning difficulties or associated mental health needs.

We are also able to offer Professional Bespoke training & Professional coaching and mentoring focussing on a specific condition, topic or area of need.

What we can offer young people

We can offer a range of aged appropriate learning, coaching and mentoring opportunities and health, wellbeing and enrichment activities for neurodivergent children aged 5-11 and 12-19 who may have additional learning difficulties or associated mental health needs and in the film below the young people who attend our group tell you themselves the difference it makes to them.

ADDvanced Solutions builds a sense of reassurance...

I didn't really socialise at all before I started coming here, I was a complete shut in. I like talking to people, hearing what they have done throughout the week.....I don't feel ike I am being judged when I talk about things especially with my autism that some people might think is rude maybe......... I think people should come to this group if they have problems with socialising I think that it really does help open your shell, even if you think it doesn't - When you look back after months you'll notice how different you are.....

Coming to the group has helped me a lot more with understanding myself and my needs....The group is different from school because I can be free and be myself....it's a really good safe space, so I can just talk to people without the pressures of school. I can actually be myself in somewhere safe that isn't judgemental.

Learning Programmes for children and young people

These programmes are usually delivered in small groups, where a similar need has been identified, by our ND coaches, programmes include:

ND and Me
ADHD and Me
Autism and Me
Siblings Programme

Young People’s Community Network Group

This group offers neurodivergent young people a regular session that allows them to meet and socialise together while learning a range of new skills and important strategies for themselves.

Hear from our young people themselves what they get from the group.

Children & Young People Neurodevelopmental Coaching

These sessions can be delivered 1:1 or in small groups, enabling young people to understand their neurodiversity or process a diagnosis. We can empower them to identify and set their own goals and build confidence to implement strategies for success.

Inclusivity & Diversity in Schools

Our Nano Neuro programme is designed for whole school / class assemblies to improve awareness, acceptance and understanding of neurodiversity.
