Student Feedback

“I would just like to say that without you helping me these past 2 years, I really don’t think I could have completed it all. You have been so patient with me and with my work and grammar etc. But I really want you to know that if you hadn’t had picked up on and educated me about ADHD, I think I would still be all over the place. I have discovered so much more about myself and I feel I have so many answers, although I’m still in progress. But you have really helped to open up my eyes and feelings and with me being able to notice when I need space or when I am needy, rather than my outbursts of frustrations I can now openly say to people what I need and how I feel when I am overwhelmed. So, thank you for not only helping and teaching me academics and English, thank you for helping me fit in and accept myself for Who I am. I will always be eternally grateful for you being a part of my life”.

Our team at Beacon are passionate about supporting neurodiverse learners.  We are proud of our training and support programmes which have resulted in improved outcomes in educational performance and quality of life.   In particular, we have achieved significant results through our ADHD Coaching Programmes, including our ADHD coaching steps used with our higher education students as part of their specialist support provision.

Below is an overview of our training and support packages:

ADHD Coaching

ADHD has always been the ‘poor relation’ in educational settings.  Typically, the type of support provided to ADHD learners is the same generic SpLD support provided to other neurodiverse students, such as those with dyslexia.  Evidence shows that ADHD learners require highly specialised, targeted strategies.  In particular, ADHD learners need their support workers to have a high level of understanding of ADHD, with ADHD learners flourishing in an environment where they can learn about how their ADHD will affect them and what particular coping strategies will be effective.  Our ADHD support workers are not only highly qualified and experienced mentors and study skills tutors, but they have also completed our ADHD training so they can work successfully with our ADHD students.

We also offer private and workplace ADHD coaching.  Please contact us to discuss your needs and receive a quote.
