OUR SERVICE
Parents/Carers
Adapt to Learn offers parents/carers one-to-one meetings to discuss any concerns, help find solutions and explore ways to move forward positively. We can offer practical advice and strategies where appropriate. Meetings can take place in the home/school or within the community.
Adapt to Learn runs a parent programme called Small Change, Big Difference. This aims to empower parents by exploring a wide range of topics around autism and SEND, such as understanding autism, sensory differences, anxiety and resilience and sharing practical strategies to help. Small Change, Big Difference is a parent programme commissioned by local authority SEND departments, schools or local charities. Contact us to find out more.
Consultancy service for schools and educational settings
Adapt to Learn offers a consultancy service to schools and all educational settings; our expertise covers all age ranges from Early Years to Key Stage 4.
Observations, feedback and bespoke advice to both parents/carers and professionals is the basis of our consultancy service. We currently work across several London boroughs and local counties providing this highly valued service.
“A hugely positive experience! Melanie and Tracy worked in partnership with parents and staff to support the progress and development of several of our pupils. They provided a very bespoke approach which facilitated a deeper understanding of individual pupil needs and a higher level of confidence from the adults supporting them. The Adapt to Learn ethos of 'small changes can make a big difference.' very definitely worked for our children and parents. We highly recommend their service!”

Parent Workshops/Coffee Mornings
Adapt to Learn offers a series of informal and interactive coffee mornings for parents of children with SEND for schools and educational settings. 'Anxiety and Resilience' has been a popular choice.
Local NAS branches and parent forums have commissioned us to run workshops on their behalf covering subjects such as ‘Transition to High School’ 'Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA)' ‘Understanding Autism’ and ‘Understanding Behaviour’.
Individual Mentoring Sessions
Adapt to Learn offers individual mentoring sessions with children and young people with social communication needs and/or autism. These sessions are child-led and designed to promote self-esteem and self-awareness through a series of time-limited, confidential, conversations and activities. Topics covered can include feelings, emotions, self-regulation, talking about diagnosis and preparing for change.
We believe a small change can make a big difference
Costs and Commissioning
We understand needs are individual and personal to each setting and/or person. Our costs reflect the bespoke nature of our service.

"We were really pleased to be able to facilitate a course on Understanding Behaviour with the lovely Melanie and Tracy from Adapt to Learn.
This was a 2 part course with 36 parents and carers as well as members of the SEND Team and the Children with Disabilities Team.
It is always great to have practitioners and parents at sessions together and everyone learnt a lot from the course which was made completely accessible by Tracy and Melanie's unique delivery- a mix of fun and learning!" Sutton Parents Forum
