Life Beyond School: Making Successful Steps

SENsational - The Special Educational Needs Podcast

Show Notes

Preparing our children for finishing school and heading off to their next adventure can be a difficult time and there is sure to be some anxieties around such a big transition. For our neurodiverse families, there might be heightened concerns around how will our children manage, will there be enough support, are they even ready and what will they do without us!

In this episode of SENsational, we chat with Emma Weaver, Deputy CEO of the ADHD Foundation and Emma Reardon, Director for Autism Wellbeing to discuss, Life Beyond School: Making Successful Steps.

During the session, we cover planning for big transitions, creating realistic expectations, what help might be available from universities or colleges, as well as at-home techniques to help support self-regulation.

Thank you for listening, and we hope you find this episode of SENsational useful.
