Autism-Affirming Education & Support

What We Offer

We provide neurodiversity-affirming education and specialist autism support through bespoke play-based sessions. Our one-to-one SEN sessions are tailor-made for your child and delivered by a qualified teacher who is experienced in supporting children with neurological differences and complex needs. These sessions are designed around your child’s strengths, interests, needs and areas for development, and can focus on:

Supporting sensory and emotional regulation through play
Building personal, social, emotional and physical skills
Communication and understanding using high/low tech AAC
Developing independence skills and learning to self-advocate
Understanding and supporting behaviour
Food explorer sessions and specific skills-based tutoring
Accessing the wider academic curriculum

Where We Work

Neurokind is based in Salisbury and provides support to families in Wiltshire and the surrounding areas. Sessions can take place in the comfort of your own home or inside the Old Sarum Community Centre located in Salisbury (SP4 6GH).

Who We Support

We work with neurodivergent (ND) and disabled children who are nursery and primary-school aged. Your child may have a suspected or confirmed diagnosis of autism, speech and language difficulties, developmental delay, sensory processing disorder, learning disabilities, ADHD, dyspraxia, or other types of neurodivergence or 'SEND'. We strive for inclusivity and therefore an EHCP (Education, Health & Care Plan) is not required to access our services.

We aim to support both your child and the wider family, and can work with your child’s school, nursery or alternative setting to ensure we are all aligned in our approach, strategies, targets and understanding of your child’s individual needs.

By request, Neurokind can also provide bespoke training and consultancy for schools, nurseries, and other organisations interested in learning more about autism and neurodivergent conditions. For more information, please contact us.
