Individual specialist support when you need space to talk through Prenatal Alcohol Exposure, likely or confirmed FASD; finding a pathway to navigate assessments, education, home life, health, social care and next steps at your own pace.

Our 1:1 online sessions are designed for carers, parents and supporting professionals who would benefit from individual, specialist FASD-informed support.

We know that group therapeutic parenting sessions can be extremely valuable, but they are not always the right fit when you need privacy, time to talk through your own situation, or help with specific questions about school, home life, assessment, support planning or safeguarding concerns.

These sessions offer a calmer and more personal space to explore what is happening for your child, young person or adult, what may be sitting underneath 'behaviour'; where we need a fresh page, where we explore symptoms and what support may help you feel more confident, prepared and less overwhelmed.

What the 1:1 Sessions Offer

Your sessions will be supported by specialist FASD-informed support, grounded in many years of practical, hands-on experience and our therapeutic parenting training with carers and parents. We help families and teams understand complex needs, prepare for and contribute to meetings, consider the whole child, and support robust reviews across education, EHCP planning, health, social care and individualised support. We can also advocate alongside you to help ensure your child or young person’s needs are better understood and supported. Where systems feel difficult to navigate, we will pause with you, consider what is happening, and look together for a different direction — always working at a pace you can manage.

Unlike the structured FASD therapeutic parenting group programme that we offer to groups, the 1:1 sessions is not intended to be prescriptive. We will work with you at your pace, focusing on the areas that matter most to your family, placement, school situation or current support plan.

We recognise that symptoms and unmet needs can show up differently across environment for example nursery, school, alternative provision, college and home. We work with you and your team (or establish one for you), to offer FASD-informed choices and practical strategies that are shaped around your child’s individual needs, rather than expecting your child to fit a standard approach.

We can help by supporting you to:

• Understanding prenatal alcohol exposure, FASD and overlapping neurodevelopmental needs.

• Talking through strengths, challenges and what you are seeing at home or in education.

• Considering school support, SEND, EHCP reviews, transition planning and team meetings.

• There is no need for a formal diagnosis to access support; where prenatal alcohol exposure is known or suspected, we can help you explore routes to assessment and gather together evidence of need.

• If your child already has a diagnosis, we can support you to reach out to other services across education, health and social care so that support feels more joined up and FASD-informed.

• We can provide practical strategies, support risk assessments or write fasd-informed communications protocol for all professionals around your child to follow.

• Understanding behaviours as possible symptoms of underlying need, including processing differences, fluctuating capacity, communication, confabulation, demand avoidance, meltdowns, lying, stealing, fixations or transitions.

• Helping you prepare questions, evidence and next steps so you feel clearer and more supported.

Funding and Access

1:1 FASD-informed support may be funded in different ways. This may include the Adoption and Special Guardianship Support Fund (if we are registered in your area, if not there might be a small delay for us to get registered with your agency), Foster Care funding, private funding, or children's or disability team social care and safeguarding budgets where a child is being supported through a Child in Need plan, Edge of Care or similar route.

If you contact us, we can usually provide a costed plan that reflects what may work for you, your child and your current situation.

We always aim to shape support around your priorities rather than expecting families to fit into a fixed programme.

Booking

Sessions are delivered online via Zoom at a time to suit you and can be arranged by appointment.

Due to demand, we are only able to support a small number of families at any one time.

However, if you are seeing this advert, we still have our wheels on where on receipt of your email we will contact you and will do everything  we can to keep waiting times minimal, so that our service remains FASD responsive when families need support.
