Supporting Schools in Unlocking Every Learner’s Potential

Teacher working with a child on a fun activity

At Enabling Minds, we are dedicated to helping schools create truly inclusive learning environments where every student—regardless of their learning needs—can thrive. We specialise in compassionate, relational approaches that move beyond outdated models of SEND and behaviour support. Through expert training, tailored interventions, and whole-school strategies, we equip teachers, leaders, and students with the tools they need to foster positive relationships, emotional well-being, and meaningful learning experiences.

How We Support Schools

1. Practical, Impactful CPD Training & Professional Development

We believe that professional development should do more than just deliver theory - it should empower teachers and leaders with practical tools they can confidently apply in the classroom the very next day. That’s why our Continuing Professional Development (CPD) training is rooted in:

✅ Evidence-based strategies that work in real classrooms
✅ Hands-on, interactive learning experiences that enhance understanding
✅ Real-world case studies and scenarios to bridge the gap between theory and practice

Our training focuses on:

  • Understanding and supporting neurodivergent learners (including ADHD, autism, and dyslexia)

  • Developing relational, trauma-informed teaching approaches

  • Implementing effective SEND strategies that benefit the whole class

  • Moving away from traditional behaviourist models and instead using compassionate, student-centred behaviour strategies

With our approach, educators leave training sessions not just inspired - but equipped with strategies that make an immediate difference in their classrooms.

2. Moving Beyond Behaviourism: Creating Supportive Learning Environments

Traditional behaviour management techniques - such as rewards, sanctions, and exclusion -often fail to address the underlying reasons behind a child’s behaviour. At Enabling Minds, we take a different approach.

We help teachers move away from outdated, behaviourist models and instead provide them with the tools to:

  • Understand the needs behind behaviour – What is the child communicating?

  • Recognise triggers and barriers to learning – How can we proactively support them?

  • Build relationships that foster trust and emotional safety – How can we create an environment where every student feels valued?

Through compassionate, relationship-based strategies, we help schools develop effective classroom interventions that de-escalate challenges, improve engagement, and help students feel heard and supported, rather than punished or misunderstood.

3. Helping Students Become Active Participants in Their Own Learning Journey

Supporting SEND students isn’t just about providing interventions—it’s about helping them understand themselves and become active participants in overcoming their barriers to learning. We empower students with:

  • 1:1 SEN tutoring, helping them build confidence and develop strategies that work for their unique needs

  • ADHD mentoring, providing students with tools to manage focus, organisation, and emotional regulation

  • Self-advocacy coaching, teaching students how to communicate their needs and access the right support

  • Tailored intervention programs, designed to develop executive functioning skills, emotional resilience, and learning independence

By equipping students with the knowledge and self-awareness to navigate their own learning journeys, we foster self-empowerment, confidence, and long-term success.

4. Coaching & Wellbeing Support for Teachers and Leaders

The demands on educators today are higher than ever, and without the right support, teachers and leaders can struggle to sustain their effectiveness and well-being. That’s why we provide:

🌱 Coaching for teachers and school leaders – Helping educators develop their skills, confidence, and leadership in SEND and inclusion
💡 Practical guidance on implementing change – Supporting new and experienced leaders in embedding effective SEND strategies school-wide
🧘 Wellbeing support – Recognising the importance of teacher resilience and mental health in today’s education environment

Coaching is a game-changer. It accelerates teacher development, helping educators refine their practice and embed effective strategies quickly - leading to better outcomes for both staff and students. Through our coaching, we ensure that teachers feel supported, valued, and equipped to create lasting impact in their classrooms.
