Connections in Mind offers a training program for teachers and parents to understand executive functions that allow individuals to take time to think before acting, resist temptations, approach challenges with flexibility, and to stay focused.
The program aims to create a neuro-inclusive school where every member of the community feels that they belong and can flourish.
The training is available online or in-person, and covers an introduction to executive function skills and neuroplasticity, pedagogical training, coach training, and SENDCo training.
The benefits of using Connections in Mind include helping students and teachers understand their brains, reducing unexpected behaviors, increasing school attendance, and reducing spending on 1:1 SEN support.
