Resources and Downloads

Below you can find our library of resources and downloads ranging from mental health workbooks to homeschooling timetables. As well as creating our own workbooks and activities, we have been researching and reviewing resources, sites and apps to be able to recommend them to our parents. Rather than having a specific academic focus these activities aim to be fun, engaging, inclusive and to focus on your child or young person’s strengths, abilities and life skills so works very well for parents of children who have additional communication, social, emotional and/ or learning needs.
