Who is Connecting the Dots Behaviour Support for?
Have you recently received an Autism or ADHD diagnosis and yet still feeling unsupported? Unsure where to turn? On an endless waiting list for something?
Have you been struggling to understand yourself or your child? Have you been struggling to connect with yourself or your child?
Are you feeling lazy or unmotivated - your children never listen to you?
Do you find yourself or your child becoming overwhelmed in everyday situations?
Do you feel you are walking on eggshells around your child or feeling stuck in decision-making paralysis?
Do you or your child feel anxious leaving the house or being around people?
Then connecting The Dots could help you identify these feelings, and understand the brain process and how they are feeling. This screening tool could help assist your child at school, benefit applications, work and, most importantly, you to understand and start to unpick the sensory, emotional and communication challenges you may currently be facing.

How do I get started?
Once you have decided you would like further support, arrange a no-obligation 20-minute free consultation to discuss your child's presenting concerns. Any additional information will support me in providing the best care possible. We will also discuss fees, safeguarding and confidentiality
After this no-obligation consultation, you can book directly on JaneApp at an appointment convenient to yourself.
Face to Face appointments will be held at:
1st Floor, Office 3, 1a Asquith Avenue, Morely, Leeds, LS27 9QA.
I will be as adaptable with methods of communication, as I can be in order to reduce anxiety and time stress wherever possible.
I will aim to have the report completed 3 weeks after the final appointment.
How can we support our child?
We understand it can be scary meeting someone new or feeling formally assessed. At Lighthouse Therapy Hub we aim to make everyone feel as welcome as possible. Please show your child the information below, it will introduce me to them staggering the transition. If you have any concerns about their anxiety or other behaviours, we have workarounds in place to support this.
I truly believe that the parents are the experts on their child, your voice will be heard but to make the most out of your experience, it may be worth keeping a diary and collecting evidence before the appointment such as school work, items from home and art work.

The full report will be £650 with 3 months access to our online members area so you can get the resources when you are ready.
