I found Sarah very informative and knowledgeable - parent, Leamington. |
〰️
Didn’t feel like I was on my own, - parent, Coventry |
〰️
After feeling exhausted and let down by lack of resources and support from the Mental Health Services, meeting Sarah Jane has given me hope. I believe her vast knowledge and training courses will provide my son with awareness, understanding and acceptance of his autism and give me strategies to support him - parent, Coventry |
〰️
I understand my son and myself so much more which helps when navigating challenging situations - Parent, Coventry |
〰️
Very insightful and will help me and my children - parent, Coventry |
〰️
It gave a great insight into how neurodivergent peoples lives are experienced, I feel this workshop had a great overall insight into why some habits and or difficulties happen and where they comes as well as then being able to understand how to support yourself and others - parent, Coventry |
〰️
It gave me more knowledge and confidence and helped to meet my child's needs - parent, Leamington
〰️
I was able to recognise many elements of what was being discussed within my own life, particularly regarding executive functions, which I had previously never realised could be linked to ADHD; there were lots of lightbulb moments during the presentation of "oh... that's me!" - parent, Warwick |
〰️
Massive help, I had no where else to turn and the support meant absolutely everything I felt heard, supported, not alone oh list could go on. I could actually see light at the end of the tunnel - parent, Coventry |
〰️
I can identify causes and management of child's behaviour patterns - parent, Coventry
〰️
the in-depth information and freedom to ask questions for more understanding really helped me and others understand their "quirks" and why they do them on a deeper level which brings a sense of knowing and understanding and the tools to know how to support yourself - parent, Coventry |
〰️
Because I am able to understand my own behaviour more, it is helping me to develop strategies which work better for me, especially when it comes to the use of executive functions in daily tasks, rather than just repeatedly trying and failing without understanding why. - parent, Coventry |
