Training for the adults around the child.
Practical workshops for parents, teachers and caregivers, taught by Thaaniyah Gydien out of everyday clinical practice. No open dates are scheduled at the moment — tell the practice what you need and you will be first to hear when the next one opens.
Right now
No open dates — and here is why.
Live group workshops are paused while the parent resource library is being finished. Private sessions for a school, practice or parent group are still being booked as normal, and the written packs cover the same ground you would get in a workshop. When group dates open again they will be listed on this page first.
For schools & educators
Neurodivergent teacher training
What it covers
How neurodivergent children experience a classroom, what the behaviour in front of you is actually communicating, and the practical adjustments that make a lesson workable for the whole group.
How it runs
Interactive, online or in person at your school. Booked directly with the practice for a staff group rather than sold as individual seats.
Who it is for
Teachers, teaching assistants, aftercare staff and anyone else in the room with the child every day.
For parents & educators
Autism support workshops
What it covers
What an autism diagnosis does and does not tell you, how communication develops differently, and what to do on the ordinary difficult days — mealtimes, meltdowns, toilet training, sleep and routine.
Take-home resources
Every workshop is built on the same material as the ASD Parent Packs, so you leave with something written to go back to rather than a page of notes.
Ongoing support
Follow-up questions go to the practice directly. You are not left with a one-off talk and no one to ask.
One family at a time
Virtual parent sessions
What it is
A private online session for your family rather than a group workshop: education, coaching and counselling around your child specifically.
When it makes sense
When you are waiting for an assessment, when therapy is already running and you want to carry it into the week at home, or when you simply need to talk it through with a therapist who knows the territory.
How to book
Booked like any other appointment. Ask the practice for the current fee and the next available slot.
Available today
The parent packs cover the same ground.
Seven written packs and a growing library of illustrated social stories, each taking one subject properly — behaviour, communication, fussy eating, toilet training, social skills, stimulation and an introduction to ASD. They are the workshop material, written down, and you can start tonight.
