Video Resources to support your neurodivergent child

15 Films have been created as part of a wider programme of work to support families who are waiting for a diagnostic assessment for autism and/or ADHD. The films are designed to provide a resource for families early in their SEND journey, who want to understand how they can best support their neurodivergent child. Parent carers might also use them to help their own wider families understand how to respond to different needs.  You can learn more about our Supported Waiting project here.

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 Education's Short Breaks Innovation Fund 2024.

Please let us know what you think of the films, by answering our short survey.
