Parent masking by pretending to be happy

At Enabling Minds, we understand that parenting a child with SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities), Neurodiversity, or emotional and mental health needs, can feel overwhelming. Whether you're navigating EOTAS (Education Other Than at School), EHCPs (Education, Health and Care Plans), school transitions, or simply trying to find the right support for your child, we're here to help.

We provide expert specialist tutoring, emotional and behavioural support, advocacy, and parental wellbeing coaching - ensuring that your whole family feels supported, informed, and empowered.

Supporting Parents: Empowering You & Your Child

How We Support Families

1. Specialist Tutoring for SEND & ADHD

Every child learns differently, and traditional classroom approaches don’t always meet their needs. Our expert SEND and ADHD tutors provide:

🎯 1:1 personalised tutoring – Tailored sessions that adapt to your child’s learning style, pace, and strengths
🧠 Support for ADHD, dyslexia, autism, and other learning needs – Helping children develop strategies for focus, organisation, and confidence
📚 Multi-sensory, engaging teaching methods – Making learning accessible, meaningful, and enjoyable
🌟 Building self-esteem and independence – Encouraging children to take ownership of their learning and celebrate their progress

Our tutors are not just subject specialists—they are experienced in working with neurodivergent minds, ensuring that your child gets both academic support and emotional reassurance.

2. Support for Behavioural, Emotional & Social Challenges

Many children experience behavioural and emotional barriers to learning, which can make school and daily life incredibly difficult. Rather than using outdated behaviourist techniques, we take a compassionate, needs-led approach, helping children and families:

  • Understand the root causes behind behaviours (such as anxiety, overwhelm, or unmet needs)

  • Develop emotional regulation strategies to manage big emotions and sensory challenges

  • Improve social skills and confidence through tailored interventions

  • Rebuild trust and positive relationships at home and in school

If your child struggles with Emotional-Based School Avoidance (EBSA), anxiety, or behavioural challenges, we can help them feel safe, understood, and ready to re-engage with learning at their own pace.

3. Guidance for EOTAS, EHCPs & School Transitions

Navigating the complex world of SEND support can feel like a full-time job. From applying for an EHCP to exploring EOTAS options or preparing for a school transition, we provide expert guidance to help you:

Understand your child’s rights and entitlements
Prepare and submit EHCP applications with confidence
Advocate for the right support within the education system
Explore alternative education options that may be better suited to your child’s needs
Support your child emotionally through school transitions (whether starting school, moving to secondary education, or shifting to home education or specialist settings)

Our advocacy and guidance ensure that you don’t have to face the system alone - we help you make informed decisions and secure the best possible outcomes for your child.

4. Parental Wellbeing Coaching & Support

Caring for a child with additional needs can be emotionally exhausting. That’s why we also focus on supporting you as a parent, offering:

💬 1:1 coaching for parental wellbeing – Helping you manage stress, avoid burnout, and build resilience
🛠 Practical strategies for parenting neurodivergent children – So you feel more confident and supported in your role
🤝 Advocacy and signposting to vital services – Connecting you with the right resources and support networks

You deserve support too. By prioritising your own well-being, you’ll be in a stronger position to advocate for and care for your child.
