All On-Board for All Our Brains - Summer 2025

"There wasn’t a single part of the course which I didn’t find useful."
C.J. Parent and Deputy Head

Be the first to know

Illuminating research about brains, behaviour, and neurodiversity

In a whole family, class, or community of wildly different humans almost nothing looks the same. Actions, reactions, emotions, focus, and behaviour can be as varied as height, hair, and eye colour.
With brains as unique as fingerprints there are still core truths that can help us all connect, play, learn and grow together. By understanding our diversity we create empowered inclusivity.

'There wasn’t a single part of the course which I didn’t find useful.' C.J. Deputy Head & Parent.

🧠 All On-Board is all about Young People, families, and educators getting 'All On-Board' for 'All Our Brains', and navigating to life's best outcomes, together!

Reassuring and evidence based, All On-Board creates a shared understanding and language for everyone.

It is full of simple tricks to align easily with our own brain, to help us recover personal strengths and move from survival mode, into thriving mode.
Even in difficult times. So we can get 'life back on course' for our chosen adventures.

🏝️ Being stuck on Struggle Rock is different for everybody. You may be mostly okay, and just wondering why things seem so much easier for everyone else. Or exhausted, heart-broken, angry and frightened.
You or your Young Person, might feel like you are drowning in a sea that you wish were full of knowledge and help.

⛵The AOB workshops, modules and resources are packed with empowering knowledge and activities. Laid out simply enough for Young People to explore and empower themselves with, and in enough depth to be of real value to families and educators.

🗺️The whole All On-Board process is mapped out in a simple way that helps us to sail through barriers, and supports our journey off Struggle Rock at any time in our life.
Sounds perfect, book me on please

Words from previous attendees:

'I was surprised with the warmth and support I received personally

'I loved the positive view of neurodiversity which is at the heart of the course. Often programmes which cover ADHD and autism present them as a deficit model which needs to be overcome. I loved how All On-Board did the opposite: the focus was on difference not deficit and those differences were celebrated.'

'I gained so much knowledge which improved my understanding of neurodiversity and there were so many practical strategies to support our neurodivergent young people and help them realise their potential.'
♡

'Our home is much more harmonious, boundaries and bedtimes are better, and everyone is much less stressed. We have better relationships at home. Thank you'

'If you missed a live session it was recorded and you could watch it back at a time convenient to yourself. This made the course very accessible,

'I knew the course would be interesting before I started but I didn’t expect to get as much out of it as I did. Julia and Shelley who led the course were so knowledgeable and also shared their own personal experiences which enhanced everything we were learning about.'

'I was surprised by the sheer amount of learning not only about my child but myself too.'

'I was surprised how practical it was - it made sense. And it was really fun.' 

'I wasn't sure whether it would help me with parenting my child.
The trickiest thing will be remembering everything we learnt! Because there was so much useful stuff.'

'The resources are amazing and easy to follow. The course is recorded so if you miss a session you can watch on playback.' 

'Julia and Shelley have an amazing ability to make parents feel at ease, included and listened to during the course. They tell it to you straight and are clearly using both their excellent knowledge and their lived experience to help parents of children with complex needs. '

⭐OUR top 5 values: (In module 2 we explore the critical way brains and values align) -

⭐ Protect and nuture: All On-Board for All Our Brains prioritises, protects and nutures every Young Person, and their essential, and family relationships.

⭐ Challenge outdated Assumptions: The latest research underpinning AOB offers new insights into mental health, and well-being. Including issues such as avoidance and anxiety, and the many ways they can appear.

⭐ Advocate: It can be very tricky for any Young Person to put into words what they are struggling with in a situation, especially so for Neurodivergent Young People. AOB gives clear insight and language with which to advocate, so that we, and our Young People, can become the respected experts in our own lives.

⭐ Educate: True, AOB helps our Young People advocate in ways that truly work for them. More importantly, All On-Board aims to educate the communities around our Young People, especially our Neurodivergent Young People.


⭐ Change the world for our neurodivergent Young People: Negative life outcomes from unrecognised or poorly supported neurodivergence are stark. BUT, the neuroscience is here now, to help us.
We can start afresh, from here. Dropping the heavy weight of whatever isn't working - we can find new routes - literally form 'new pathways' in our brains, and off of Struggle Rock!

Five Waves of the High-Five-Cs Change Process

Curiosity, Compassion, Connection, Collaboration, Commitment to tiny things that support the journey.
I'd like to study with live support please :)
