    I found this course to be very informative, with lots of useful, common sense, practical approaches/ideas in supporting SEND/ASD students through some of the biggest changes in their lives, especially when we find ourselves in unprecedented circumstances. This year has been a challenging times for both students & staff and it's the support of each other has helped us all to get through it. Well done !

    I found the information very helpful from a Pre-School SENDCo point of view, transition to secondary school helpful for a friend but not from my work perspective. I would have been happy to finish the course at transition to primary school which is why it took me so long to finish the course. You have added very useful downloads and web links/addresses, thank you.

    Excellent course. Givent the heightened anxiety many pupils will be feeling after the long lock-down period, it is understandable that our SEND and ASC pupils may need transition back to school (even if it isn't a 'big' transition. Very useful resources as well. Thank you!

    I thought this training was fantastic. It will help me in my work but it will help me even more in my personal life as my son is autistic and has just found out today that he has a place at collage in September. We have some of these things already to help him but doing this training today has given me lots of useful information that will help me and my son.

    Big Help

    As a teacher in a primary special school, the course, though aimed at parents and a lot of content for high school and college, gives ideas on supporting pupils transition between classes and schools. This has given me a few ideas on support I can offer to parents and what they can do as we begin to return to school shortly and preparing pupils once back in school for their transitions between key stages and into high school.

Lynn's Story

I’m Lynn McCann and I’m the specialist teacher who loves to support anyone to understand their autistic, ADHD and PDA students

Reachout ASC is a team of specialist teachers with many year’s experience and expertise. We work with children of all ages, making school better for them.

  • We understand what teachers are going through because we have all been there, in the classroom, and understand all the pressures and targets that are put upon you.
  • We know you are not given enough training to support all the student’s needs in your class.
  • We understand parents because we are parents of autistic children and children with other additional needs.
  • We understand our students because some of us are autistic and some of us have ADHD.
  • We understand what our students are going through because we make our first priority to listen to them, giving them the communication tools they need to be able to tell us what school and being autistic is like for them.

"Fabulous"

Not only am I a LSA in a Secondary School but a mum to a son who is going to Sixth Form. I love the way you approached this from all angles, from parents teachers, support staff and most importantly our young people too.

S Powers

"Thought provoking"

Great resources, which will be really useful with all students. It also highlights perhaps some areas that we may have forgotten about whilst being in our own bubbles at home or even as some of us have been working, it is easy to forget how it has been for others.

F Lewis

"Invaluable"

Invaluable course if you want to learn more about autism. Anxiety is something that they may suffer from everyday and we need to know the signs to help them before they are on empty. I will revisit this course again as it is full of useful information, hints and tips.

C Henderson

"Very thought provoking and excellent videos"

I really enjoyed this course, it was very thought provoking and there were lots of practical strategies to take away. I really enjoyed the video on autism and joy - very funny, moving and inspiring. The trainer covered a lot of different scenarios as well.

"Thought provokingly brilliant "

Even if you think you have it all under control, you haven't! This course is so informative and covers absolutely everything you have to think about ensuring the best possible return to the school community for everyone.

"Fantastic SEND knowledge"

This has, by far been the best bite size CPD I have done in a long time. Sharing knowledge and encouragement a good practice model - thank you!
