The Educational Specialist Team works across Kent in partnership with schools, families and professionals to help children and young people reach their full potential. We recognise that every child is unique and that school plays a vital role in understanding, identifying and supporting individual needs.
Our workshops and presentations provide practical, evidence-based information about neurodevelopmental differences, including autism, ADHD and co-occurring conditions. We explore how these differences can affect learning, behaviour, communication, emotional wellbeing and daily life, while sharing effective strategies that can be used in the classroom to create supportive and inclusive learning environments.
Drawing on experience across education and community paediatrics, our team combines specialist knowledge with a practical understanding of the challenges faced by schools. We are committed to building confidence, sharing best practice and working collaboratively with education professionals to support positive outcomes for children and young people.
We look forward to working alongside you and supporting your school in developing approaches that help every child thrive.
Presentations for schools
These presentations are designed to support staff training and professional development. This resource area will continue to grow, with new workshops, presentations, guidance and practical tools being added over time. We are committed to developing content that responds to the needs of schools and supports staff in creating inclusive learning environments for all pupils.
These PowerPoint presentations can also be used to help understanding of ADHD in children.
