SEND Courses
Francine and Lesley at Families in Focus are passionate about supporting parents of children with autism, ADHD and inclusive of neurodiversity. We are ‘experts by experience’ and have been delivering our award-winning, evidence-based, therapeutic courses since 2007. Our courses provide an opportunity to meet other parents in small, safe, friendly groups, whilst increasing knowledge and understanding supporting you to transform family life. Hertfordshire County Council funds our courses and are free for parents living in Hertfordshire.
Our online award-winning, evidence-based, therapeutic SEND courses are:
- The complete guide to parenting children aged 3 to 11 years with SEND and inclusive of those whose children are on assessment pathways.
- Handling anger of primary-aged children with Autism or ADHD and inclusive of those whose children are on assessment pathways.
96% of parents attending our courses would highly recommend our courses to other parents.
Parent feedback Autumn 2024: ” This course provided a safe space to talk freely about our personal experiences of being a SEND parent and the many challenges that brings. I felt so supported and Francine and Lesley are parents too and that really made a huge difference. I’ve been on many courses and this course gave us all the time we needed to talk and be listened to and has made (and will continue to make) our household happier and we have much more fun now.”
