We hope everyone has settled into the new term and that your children have transitioned back into their educational settings as smoothly as possible.

In addition, we understand that the recent release of the governments white paper and proposed SEND reforms may have caused concerns for many parents. So, in this month’s community session, PEAK will be allocating time to talk about this.

You’re invited to share your thoughts, questions, and concerns in a safe, supportive environment. PEAK are always here to support your children’s journey.

📅Date: 27 February
⏰Time: 10:00–12:00
📍Where: Hillview Church, Hucclecote

We look forward to welcoming you. Come along, grab a cuppa, and let’s talk about your children and the support they need.

At The GAC, we offer individualised pre screening to.ensure that a diagnostic assessment is right for you or your child.

Research shows that understanding your neurotype protects you from many of the challenges that undiagnosed autism and adhd can lead to such as depression/anxiety/risk taking behaviours/eating disorders etc.

Please contact the wonderful Fiona at enquiries@tgac.co.uk if you'd like to discuss a FREE pre-screening for your child, let's help identify children's individual brain styles early!

At The GAC, we also understand that every child is unique - especially when it comes to ADHD and Autism. That’s why we offer bespoke parent mentoring support for families of children we assess, as well as mentoring for young adults.

💬 Whether you’re facing a new diagnosis or ongoing challenges, our mentoring is designed to give you personalised guidance, reassurance, and practical tools — tailored to your child’s needs.

💙 Individualised advice from experienced professionals
👂 A safe space to ask questions and feel supported
🧠 Strategies that actually work - for your family

You’re not alone - we’re here to walk this journey with you.

While national policy is still talking about individualised SEND support, we’re already doing it.

We don’t stop at assessment. We work directly with schools to create practical, personalised plans for each child — plans that reflect their actual profile, not just a category.

Because a high-achieving autistic girl who masks all day doesn’t need a generic checklist.

She needs staff who understand her sensory load.
Her communication style.
Her shutdown signals.
Her strengths.

Real support happens when schools understand the child, not just the label.

That’s the standard we believe every neurodivergent pupil deserves. 💛

We are taking our time to read the white paper, but please know, we are still here to support you, and to work directly with your child's school. 🙏

📚 Defintion: Dopamine 🧠

🩵💛🩷

It is really important to understand the dopamine aspect particularly in an ADHD presentation, in order to work with children and young people in a way that accommodates their neurology, and plays to their strengths.

We tend to suggest GAMIFICATION as an idea- using fun ways to increase the anticipation loop! Easy to do, and keeps students on track!
