Is your child struggling to attend their education setting?

What adjustments can be made can be made that improve wellbeing, attendance and celebrate neurodiversity?

Supporting Neurodivergent CYP (Child, Young person), their family and education setting with an informed approach on why they are finding it difficult to attend education.


Bespoke 1:1 support is provided with CYP giving time to build trust with a therapeutic mentor and discover their experience of education. The service helps to assess hidden barriers whilst also seeking to help them understand their strengths and opportunities for them to not only attend but also thrive. Whilst seeking to be flexible, sessions are delivered online with face-to-face options dependant on location.


Time is provided to Plan, Do and Review around difficulties that are having most significant impact on a child’s ability to attend. Calmer Lives extends its support to both parents, carers and the education setting, advocating for collaborative and pro-active solutions.

'Well-meaning responses by school may amount to an invitation for them to return when they feel able, but this positions the issue as a problem within the child - and for the child to solve. In reality the reason for absence often lies in school and outside the control of the young person. Without an informed effort to understand why they stop attending, the likelihood of a successful reintegration is remote.'
