Video Resources to support your neurodivergent child
The following films have been coproduced with short breaks providers, schools, families and health colleagues, to provide information about how you can support the children and young people that you work with or care for. The topics for the films are based on feedback from Essex Parents and Carers and support the Implementation of the Ordinarily Available.
The films were created using grant funding from the Department for Educations Short Breaks Innovation Fund 2024 and are being uploaded as they are completed. There will be 15 titles in total.
This work has been undertaken as part of a wider programme of work to support families who are waiting for a diagnostic assessment for autism and/or ADHD. You can learn more about our Supported Waiting project here.
