The research behind it
The move to secondary school is a recognised cliff edge for neurodivergent and SEND children. This programme uses structured transition planning: agreeing a plan before the move, briefing the new SENCO, preparing gradually through visits and travel practice, then following up during the early weeks. This is specialist guidance for parents, not diagnosis or treatment. Session 1 includes a screen that routes anything needing clinical help to the GP, NHS or CAMHS.
How we'll know it worked
Success means your child is attending, finding their way around and feeling more settled by half-term. Your goals are scored from 0 to 10 in session 1 and again at the final review, shown side by side with the weekly tracking.
- Attendance percentage once term starts.
- A weekly settling rating from your child and from you.
- A friendship and homework check at the half-term review.
- Two or three goals scored from 0 to 10 at the start and end.
Is this for me?
Your child is in Year 6 and primary support took years to get right.
You want to start in the summer term, before the move becomes urgent.
A bigger site, travelling alone, a timetable and many teachers all need preparing for.
You want to practise the route and make the summer useful without overwhelming your child.
You do not want the new school starting from zero in September.
You want the new SENCO briefed, then support checked through to half-term.

Common questions
Is three sessions enough?
For a lot of families, yes. Each session ends with clear next steps, and plenty of parents find three focused sessions with one specialist is what they needed. You can stop there with nothing else to pay.
Can I go on to the full programme afterwards?
Yes. The full programme is 6 sessions and starts with these same three, so tell us you have done the starter and we will set up just the remaining sessions with the same specialist, priced as a programme.
Do I need a diagnosis first?
No. Tell us what you are seeing in your own words. Your specialist works from how your child actually is, not from a label.
