The school environment can often leave many children with autism feeling anxious and overwhelmed. Schools have the potential to cause sensory overload, difficulties with social interaction and emotional regulation. In addition, many children with autism often find it difficult to process information which if left unaddressed can impact their learning and behaviour.

LP Autism Consultancy recognises that even with the support and understanding of teachers, things can still be difficult and sometimes although it may feel like children are not being supported it can sometimes be the case that despite a teacher’s best efforts, they may not have had the relevant training to know how to help a child with autism. LP Autism Consultancy can help you understand why your child might be having such a difficult time at school and provide practical strategies and advice to help your child reach their full potential. In turn, parents can use this knowledge to share with their schools and build good relationships with the teaching staff. Indeed, it is quite often said that consistency both at home and school can go a long way in supporting someone with autism. Sometimes just a few minor adjustments in school can make a huge difference such as exploring ways to reduce sensory overload, coming into a school via a different entrance to avoid the busy and noisy playground or having a workstation in the classroom to block out distractions. LP Autism Consultancy can work with you to identify what difficulties your child may have and explore different ways to improve your child’s well-being at school.
