Our special needs evenings were introduced in 2009 after customer comments on how best some of our users might access our activities. Started as a pilot scheme in Milton Keynes for local families with children and adults with special needs, this not for profit event quickly became a regular fixture in the local calendar. Brothers, sisters and friends are all welcome to join in the fun after hours with the freedom and comfort of knowing that the time is suited to them.

We support groups and individuals to challenge themselves and promote healthy lifestyle activities.

Course summary:

Emotionally Based School Avoidance (EBSA) is a term used to describe a group of children and young people who experience significant challenges in attending school due to emotional factors, often related to feelings of fear and anxiety.

We have updated this workshop to include current thinking in the field and new practical support ideas. This workshop aims to support school leaders and school staff to implement evidence and practice-based strategies to support a return to school and stabilise school attendance.
