"Prior to this assessment I was feeling a little lost and alone with the process of getting both my children assessed, second guessing myself and generally quite anxious about it all. Ola immediately put me at ease, explained everything about the assessment very clearly to me, and I felt really comfortable asking any additional questions I had. The assessment itself went extremely well, with Ola always giving me time to think about my answers and then giving me lots of useful advice and practical strategies to use. I never felt judged or uncomfortable, which is so important when you consider the nature of the questions asked in the assessment. The ADI-R and sensory profiles I received back have been invaluable for both understanding my children's needs more clearly and for future steps. I can't recommend Ola enough, and have already recommended her services to other parents in a similar situation!

"Caleidoscope is a great place where all children are able feel safe and supported, it fosters a very positive environment where all children are encouraged to work together and overcome any challenges with the support of volunteers. Caleidoscope has greatly helped me during my DofE experience as it has allowed me to learn how to help individuals in a way specific to them boosting my volunteering skills. I have also learnt how to support children based of their specific needs and how to encourage children in a way suited to them, to boost their social, intellectual and emotional development . Overall it is an amazing environment where all children are supported to share, work together and also work independently at times." Maria- Volunteer

"Thank you so much for the past 3 weeks. I have found the course so interesting and informative, and I know that it will help me in my work supporting families and trying to understand a parent’s perspective. My mind is buzzing, and I am thinking of ways to put this into practise now! I will be telling my colleagues about your work and I will look out for other webinars of yours to join." - Family Centre Worker
"Now I can feel more confident, because I understand that the student just does not have a concept of what social roles are. Instead they have intense anxiety about the world, which they are trying to control.
I feel that Ola's work will enable me to go back to work with more understanding, tools and confidence in supporting the student in a way that supports his needs."
