3-Hour Family Workshop – coventry & Warwickshire

28 May

This 3-hour Family Support Workshop is for parents and carers across Coventry & Warwickshire who want a clear, structured understanding of autism and ADHD, with focused presentations on Autism, ADHD, Executive Functioning, and Sensory Processing.

The workshop is presentation-led, with clear explanations and practical examples to help families understand how neurodivergent brains work and how this impacts everyday life.

What We’ll Cover

✔ Autism & ADHD

An overview of how neurodivergent brains develop and why autistic and ADHD children experience the world differently.

✔ Executive Functioning

A detailed look at the brain skills that support daily life, including:

Planning and organisation
Working memory
Focus and attention
Emotional regulation
Task initiation and completion
Coping with change and transitions

Many autistic and ADHD children struggle in these areas not because they won’t — but because they can’t yet. Understanding executive functioning helps families provide realistic, appropriate, and effective support.

✔ Sensory Processing

An explanation of how the brain receives and interprets sensory information, including:

Sound
Touch
Movement
Light
Smell and taste

We explore sensory seeking, sensory avoidance, and sensory overload, and how sensory differences can affect behaviour, communication, learning, and emotional wellbeing.

Why This Workshop Matters

Executive functioning and sensory processing play a major role in behaviour, learning, and emotional regulation. Understanding these areas helps families to:

Support their child with confidence
Reduce stress and overwhelm at home
Create environments that help their child succeed
Improve family relationships
Advocate effectively with schools and services

The workshop is informative, supportive, and practical, with time for questions and discussion throughout.

If you support autistic or ADHD children — diagnosed or undiagnosed — this 3-hour workshop will give you a deeper understanding and practical knowledge you can use immediately.
