What do we offer at Your Way Psychology & Education?

1. Well, in the main, we offer assessments for children and young people - usually for autism or learning needs.

2. Then, we provide detailed information to families about what we have found out. We will provide recommendations about the next steps, and sometimes this will mean giving a formal diagnosis.

3. If relevant, our education team can provide advice and information to parents on interventions, school liaison and applications for an Education Health and Care Plan (EHCP).

4. We also advise schools, supervise SENCOs and provide training.

5. Finally, we run free events for a range of people to help raise awareness and spread knowledge.

What kind of school is best for children with autism?

No one type of school is right for every child with autism. Many children with autism can do really well in a mainstream school with the right support and an inclusive culture. Some children go to a mainstream school with a resource base. Here, additional funding and training are given for more specialist support. For some children with autism, a special school is best where there is a very high level of expertise, and the school is designed from the ground up to only support children with special educational needs. Our education team are always on hand to help you navigate this important decision. If you need support please visit our website and book in a session.

🎭The world famous actor Orlando Bloom talking about his dyslexia and how it affected his creativity. We love how he frames it in the below quote too! 🎥

"If you have kids who are struggling with dyslexia, the greatest gift you can give them is the sense that nothing is unattainable."

"Take this obstacle and make it the reason to have a big life, because if you can overcome this obstacle you are going to be that much further ahead than anyone else. It takes having obstacles to learn and grow and be better. The challenge of dyslexia—the challenge of climbing that mountain—is something that you can make your own and make it a reason to be a winner in life."

What types of support might an autistic person need?

As you can imagine, it varies from person to person. However, some common themes are:

Understanding from society
Being truly listened to and valued
Being seen as an individual and not a label

Other areas that people may need support with will differ depending on their individual needs. These may include speech and language therapy, occupational therapy, support with mental health needs, adaptations to their environment or specific interventions.

"Don’t be discouraged. Dyslexia is just a different way of seeing the world, and a different way of coming up with great ideas. And many of you will discover that it’s actually a superpower that can take you to great heights" Dyslexia ignited his creative thinking and problem-solving. Despite leaving school early, he harnessed his dyslexia to simplify complexities and build the Virgin empire. This remarkable trait also fueled his ability to lead and empower others.

🎵 Embrace ADHD for Creativity 🎵 Will.i.am, of The Black Eyed Peas, has spoken publicly about his ADHD... Instead of seeing it as a challenge, he sees it as his 'passion point' 💡 having so many thoughts and ideas in his head while working sparks his creativity, even though he can't slow down easily! "For every obstacle there's some type of solution,' he said. It's all about finding the positives! Turn your uniqueness into your strength!
