SEND Courses

Francine and Lesley at Families in Focus are passionate about supporting parents of children with autism, ADHD and inclusive of neurodiversity. We are ‘experts by experience’ and have been delivering our award-winning, evidence-based, therapeutic courses since 2007. Our courses provide an opportunity to meet other parents in small, safe, friendly groups, whilst increasing knowledge and understanding supporting you to transform family life. Hertfordshire County Council funds our courses and are free for parents living in Hertfordshire.

Our online award-winning, evidence-based, therapeutic SEND courses are:

  • The complete guide to parenting children aged 3 to 11 years with SEND and inclusive of those whose children are on assessment pathways.
  • Handling anger of primary-aged children with Autism or ADHD and inclusive of those whose children are on assessment pathways.

96% of parents attending our courses would highly recommend our courses to other parents.

“Each week I took away nuggets of really useful links and information that has helped our family to become calmer. I didn’t think
anything could really help and in felt really low but I can see light at the end of tunnel and looked forward to every week.”
