To contribute to a world where all young people, no matter their individual strengths and struggles, have a true sense of acceptance and belonging within their family, which develops confidence and self belief.
Vision
To provide a community where parents and young people in ADHD/Autistic families can explore behaviour and responses through a brain and body lens, to support understanding and nurture collaboration and connection in the family.
Values
We embrace the values of empathy, simplicity and connection in our work with parents and young people, to create an inclusive and collaborative space, where individuals are accepted and celebrated.

Dominique
After becoming a parent, I completed an NVQ Level 3 in Supporting Teaching and Learning. In addition to this, I served on the Board of Trustees as Treasurer and Administrator for a children’s nursery for 3 years, making use of my strong organisational skills and extensive administrative experience.
I have two sons and both have additional needs, one with sensory processing issues and the other diagnosed with Autism. I have spent the past 13 years understanding and adopting tools and techniques to ensure my boys achieve the best they possibly can.
Whilst trying to navigate the challenges that raising children with additional needs brings, I have found organisations such as this invaluable and I hope to be able to assist other families facing similar challenges.
Alison
With a background in admin, I retrained whilst on maternity leave to be a Teaching Assistant. I worked in class, delivering small group and 1:1 interventions for 13 years before going back to my roots of admin and moved into my school office. I recently left that job to work in airport security, as I can now take my holidays outside of peak time!
I have one son who is now a young adult. Parenthood, for me, has definitely been challenging – school was not his happy place. I love getting outside for walks and the odd run, especially Parkrun, and also watching lots of sport.
