sound familiar?
You fought for the package. Now you're holding it all together.
- Your child's out of school and you want their days to be something that actually suits them.
- You're the one chasing the tutor, the therapist and the caseworker, and keeping track of who agreed what.
- The package looks good on paper, but nobody's checking it's actually working.
- An annual review is coming up and you're dreading it.
- You've spent so long fighting the system you've forgotten what it's like to just be a parent.
how we help
Two ways we help.
Most families start with one. Both can be funded through the EHCP or a personal budget.
why us
Why families choose us.
Autism is all we do.
We're not a general tutoring agency. Autism is our specialism, and our team brings years of SEND and specialist mentoring experience.
Your child's voice comes first.
We gather their views in whatever way suits them, and we start every meeting with what's going well.
The environment, not the child.
We follow Dr Luke Beardon's approach: autism plus environment equals outcome. When things aren't working, we ask what needs to change around them.

in their words
What families say about our mentoring.
Before Heather started working with him, [my son] was out of education and at one of the lowest points in his life. Heather took the time to get to know him properly, build trust with him and work at his pace. What meant the most to me was seeing him gradually begin to engage again and gain confidence in himself.
When our son started mentoring with Heather two years ago, he was really struggling, both with school and socially. Gently and consistently, she helped him find value in himself and in his education. He's now a genuinely more confident and happy young person, and that's what matters most to us.
