From having learners with additional needs to having systems that support them
We partner with schools to build genuine special educational needs departments, train teaching staff, calibrate classroom environments, and put IEPs in place that actually get used.
A practical, end-to-end approach
Inclusion fails when it's reduced to a single shadow teacher or a policy nobody reads. We work across leadership, staff and the classroom itself.
SEN Department Development
Support for schools building or strengthening their special educational needs department, staffing and systems.
Teacher Training
Practical professional development helping classroom teachers understand and support learners with additional needs.
IEPs & Learner Support Planning
Individual Education Plans and support plans written to be genuinely usable in a real classroom.
School-Based Assessments
On-campus observation that complements clinic-based assessment with a real view of how a child manages at school.
Behaviour Support & Inclusive Classroom Strategies
Positive behaviour strategies, Universal Design for Learning and practical classroom accommodations that reduce friction for the whole class, not just one child.
Upskilling every classroom teacher, not just specialists
Understanding Behaviour as Communication
Helping teachers tell the difference between a child who won't and a child who can't, and what to do about it.
Practical Differentiation
Adapting lessons and materials for different learners without slowing the whole class down.
Supporting Learning Support Assistants
Guidance for schools on making the most of shadow teachers and learning support assistants.
Calm, Low-Arousal Classrooms
Practical de-escalation strategies that protect both the child and the teacher.
IEPs that work at 8am on a Monday morning
Most school inclusion efforts stall because plans are written like clinical reports teachers don't have time to decode.
The Common Gap
- Long reports that end up in a filing cabinet, unread by the teachers who need them
- Vague guidance like “allow extra time” with no practical detail
- Subject teachers left feeling unqualified and unsupported
- Parent frustration that builds when there's no visible progress
The Heyday Standard
- Short, clear accommodations a teacher can use on Monday morning
- Specific, realistic goals reviewed on a set timeline
- Teachers looped in, not left out
- Honest progress updates parents and schools can both see
From punitive discipline to understanding root causes
Repeated detentions and suspension threats rarely resolve underlying regulation difficulties. Here's how we approach it instead.
Understand the Environment
Looking at what in the classroom or school day might be contributing to a child's difficulty.
Understand the Behaviour
Working out what a behaviour is communicating, without assigning blame to the child or the teacher.
Build an Individual Plan
Practical, discreet strategies built into the child's normal school day.
Support the Whole Class
Universal strategies that help every learner, with more targeted support for those who need it.
Why in-school observation matters
A child can sit calmly through an hour in a quiet clinic room, and that tells us very little about how they cope with twenty-five classmates, changing lessons and a noisy playground. That's why classroom observation is part of a full picture, not an optional extra.
- How a child manages peer interaction and unstructured time
- How they cope with transitions and changing routines
